In a survey carried out in the Churchyard of All Saint’s Parish Church, Ruskington, by R. Wood in 1980, a total of 156 graves were identified by having either a Headstone or some other form of grave marker.
Obviously, over the centuries that the parishioners of the village have been buried in the Churchyard, before its ultimate closure in 1883, the number of graves must have run into thousands.

Those listed below are – for the time being – all that can be recognised. Even then, some of the identities attached to the graves must be regarded as doubtful.
The Graves identified are shown on the following Sketch Map. For analysis purposes they will be organised into 6 sub-sections according to their location in the Churchyard. [These plans can be accessed via the ‘ Mapping the Churchyard ‘ page.]

[N.B. The list below has been sorted into Alphabetical Order. From this list go to the Numerical List on a separate page to find the location of the Grave in the Churchyard. which can be accessed via a number of Plans drawn for different Sections of the Churchyard. These plans can be accessed via the ‘ Mapping the Churchyard ‘ page.]
