[TF 02181460] Stone Cists found A.D. 1855[Tl] (1)

Thirty-three skeletons, four stone coffins, and fragments of
mullions and tracery of probably 13th century windows, were
found about 1855 in a stackyard at Aunby.
See TF 01 SW 9 for Aunby D.M.V. and TF 01 NW 8 for rebuilt
church. (2)

Almost certainly this is the site of Aunby church which is
believed locally to have stood at approx. TF 0220 1459 but there
are no surface indications. (3)

There is no sign of a church on available air photographs at the
grid reference given by the previous authorities. Parts of the church
are known to have been re-used to build St Wilfred's church in the
grounds of Holywell Hall (see TF 01 NW 8). (4)
