Hey Riaz I have never heard of company graves so I found this very interesting indeed, the more I watch your channel the more I'm learning thanks to yourself and Co hosts along the way you take care and stay safe ❤
I’ve heard of paupers graves but I’m just truly shocked at how many deceased were put into that grave,it’s horrifying.I can’t imagine leaving a body especially a child’s in such a terrible place.I wonder if it is possible to reinter remains that have been found and give them a proper burial and place to rest.Its so so sad.😢
Why so sad? Why a terrible place? And proper burial? I guess it’s a matter of opinion and how we were raised to think about death…..this cemetery is beautiful and nobody would know that one was beautiful and one supposably was not? Mother Nature has taken over this cemetery. It’s natural and beautiful!
I've never heard of 'company graves' either; the term is logical. I don't know how many of these graveyard companies existed -the Brookwood Necropolis Company being perhaps the best known. Unconsecrated ground was normally used for the unbaptised, particularly still born or very short lived children, suicides and others who the prevailing attitudes denied proper burial. From vague memory, it needed an Act of Parliament to put a stop to that and a few other practices!
Undercliffe's big memorials were to masses of rich old families whose descendants have all moved away or family name died out through not having sons or whose descendants went to universities and wouldn't come back to dirty Bradford to run the business. That happened to David Brown Tractors family, son was sent to southernuniversity back in fifties where he woudl have plenty of nice entertainment in green clean surroundingss then refused to come back to filthy black Huddersfield so his father had to keep running the business until he was too old and then sold it to Case Tractors of USA and just a year later they closed it down and made nice profits from tax write off.
What? A spinster? Are we talking “a single woman?” Thank you that times have changed! I always remind people about labels like this when they talk about the good old days! I think that being buried in a cloth directly in the ground is much better than rotting away in a container! Yay! The poor win on this one!

Hi 😊
Yes , it's something I learnt too.
Fascinating stuff.
Thanks again, until next time, take care too.
I've never heard of company graves either
Very interesting the monuments/ headstones in old graveyards are a work of art
Andy says the company graves were not known to the owners of the surrounding 'proper' graves...I assume they were in some way kept secret ?
So glad I found your channel it's brilliant, keep up the good work!
Thank you for connecting.
Keep in touch 🙂

Thanks for sharing this very interesting I have an aunt aged 2 1932 and x2 great uncle 1907 aged 4 buried in paupers grave so sad
😪
Any chance of a copy of the list of who’s buried there? It could help in someones family history searches.
My great grandfather was a sexton at gildersome st peters church in the early 20th c. His surname was buttery.

Not in a war situation.
In a poor situation 😞
