Dockroyd History Makers eBook

“those who by acts, ideas

or existence modify the course of history”

“Who knew that resting in our graveyard are the relatives of a World War II casualty of the Burma Railway atrocities, a lawmaker in the infamous Dodge city, a trailblazer for women’s football and the builder of Manorlands, Oxenhope to name but a few, true History Makers.

It continues to amaze me that a small Wesleyan Methodist Graveyard in a West Yorkshire village has impacted so many lives. As you pass the graveyard, remember these are not just old dusty Victorians, they are real people with real families and this is the real reason for improving the graveyard and showing respect to our ancestors.”
