Aby Cemetery - Aby
While looking in Aby cemetery yesterday for WILLOWs family members I met another couple who had come from Grimsby and like us had been round the village for a church of some discription. For anyone else looking for the cemetery it is a little off the beaten track. If you go to the pub called the Railway Tavern (yellow building just outside the village) the cemetery is opposite and looks like its in the middle of a field. You can get to it though by walking round the headlands of the field. Hope this helps anyone else looking for it.
