Womersley Cemetery and St. Martins parish church

There are two extant wargraves in the Cemetery at Womersley, including an unusual Royal Navy grave with a late date.

Extant interments -

K/13350 Stoker 1st Class Barr, L. W.,
Royal Navy, HMS Actaeon,
17th April 1921

5059 Pte Procter. P, 
Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry,
12th April 1916 Age 21


A quick check shows HMS Actaeon as being a shore establishment, part of the torpedo school.

The parish church of St. Martin has a large cross memorial, but no extant graves.

St. John the Evangelist, Acaster Selby

A small ancient church, situated in the fields of this remote farming village.

No war graves at this location. There is however a private monument to Pte. Gavigan, Fred, Royal Fusiliers, 14th October 1918, age 21.

All Saints, Appleton Roebuck

 An interesting church with an unusual clock , but no war graves.
 

There is a headstone in the style of the commonwealth war graves commission stones, for S3501202, Mills, Peter Wilfred, Chief Technician RAF (Rtd.), 31st March 1978.

St. John the Evangelist, Healaugh

Sited atop a hill with commanding views over the York countryside. No war graves present.

St. James', Bilbrough

No war graves present.

All Saints, Ryther

I had almost missed this one, tucked away behind a farm.

No wargraves present. However, there is a private memorial to a Hamilton Maule Cole R.N., lost at sea on HMS Leopard off Belize.

St. Helens, Skipwith

Actually visited during the summer, the details were misplaced.

Only one headstone carried any noticeable military connection, but from the details it is uncertain if this is infact a wargrave as such. The marker in this case is for a Jason Wayne Roughley, served with the Life Guards, and dated 24th November 2009.  I suspect his loss was not on active service, a preliminary search of records for Afghanistan does not list him.
