Pocklington Church Inscriptions
The following Article is from the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, Volume 14, Page 85. It was written by Alex. D.H. Leadman and published in 1898. The town cemetary was consecrated by the Archbishop of York on 10th August 1857.

POCKLINGTON CHURCH.

Inscriptions in the Churchyard.


This ancient place of burial, now closed by an Order in Council (5 April, 1857), has been in use for over 600 years, and it is calculated about 20,000 interments have been made therein. It is commonly said that this churchyard has been encroached on in times past. No old stones remain. There is the head of an incised cross built into the outer wall of the north aisle. It has most likely belonged to some early priest, and cannot be dated later than 1100.
The inscriptions oommenoe at the west end, along the north, east and
south sides to the west end again. They are as near as possible given row by row, and are all shortened. Many are much weatherworn.

† Thomas Pelling was a travelling adventurer, his last performance before this being at Knaresborough. Amid a great company the rope was fixed to one of the pinnacles of the tower, the other end being attached to a windlass placed close to the Star Inn. Two iron rings were on the rope in which were inserted strong straps, one going round the chest and another round one leg, thus leaving
both arms and one leg free to pose with as he descended. He was assisted into these straps, and began to descend, when to his dismay he found the rope slacken. He called out to the men, but they unfortunately turned the windlass the wrong way, causing the poor man to come in violent contact with the east end of the chancel, fracturing his skull and causing instant death.

In the corner formed by the intersection of the chancel and the south transept is an altar-tomb having on it a shield of arms, and a long inscription—both much weather-worn. It is to the memory of a "Mr Gyles Bateson" and "Mrs Isabella Bateson," his widow. (See inscr. on 2nd bell) (Many years ago a house was broken into at Pocklington, and the thieves removed a pannel from the side of this tomb and hid the stolen goods therein, where they remained for a long period. Some passerby seeing a pannel was loose gave it a push and the nefariously hidden articles were thus discovered.)

* In an email from Rachel Bright - She points out that Elizabeth would have been 80 not 50. However, Leadman prints it as 50 in the original source.
