Read More	The Topcliffe Congregation Church was the first of that denomination established in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and included among its members many distinguished persons, such as Mr John Pickering (son of Captain Thomas Pickering, an old Republican Officer, Progenitor of Lords Eure), who gave them the Chapel. Mr Pickering also gave the land at Tingley for the burial ground. The Burial Ground at Tingley was first used in 1676 and was closed in 1840. The map coordinates showing for the Tingley Burial Ground are approximate. The burial ground was located on the grounds of Tingley Hall. A description of this cemetery was provided in the book “Old Yorkshire” by William Smith (volume 1, page 106-109, 1881). Smith writes that the burial ground was neglected, and that “The owner of the estate enlarged his plantations; made some fish ponds on the skirts of the burial place; the slabs and tombstones were broken. These interesting memorials of the dead ought not to be dealt with as though they were unworthy of preservation” (p 108). The 1895 ordnance map for the area shows the location of the Tingley Hall fish ponds and this is where the approximate map coordinates for the burial ground have been placed. Tingley Hall was demolished in the 1960s and a good portion of the estate was used to widen and reroute Dewsbury Road and build the Tingley interchange for the M62 motorway. Five headstones were collected from the Tingley Hall burial ground and relocated to St Mary in the Wood Churchyard at Morley prior to commencement of roadwork in the spring of 1966. It is not clear if the burial ground itself survived this roadwork or the modern housing developments that have also sprung up on the original Tingley Hall estate. The burial registers for the Topcliffe Congregational Chapel, including burials in the Tingley Burial Ground, were published by William Smith in “The Topcliffe & Morley Registers” (Longmans, Green & Co., London, 1888). The earliest burials associated with this congregation appear to have taken place within the original Chapelyard.
