Mass grave gets memorial ‘Over 1000 children, no longer lost’
A memorial to 1000 children buried in an unmarked communal grave offers "dignity and recognition", a councillor has said. Infant burials took place at Penistone-Stottercliffe cemetery in South Yorkshire for a century, only ending in the 1970s. Councillors David Greenhough and Hannah Kitching started a fundraiser back in 2021 to raise £5,000 for a permanent reminder at the site. They said many parents never knew where their child was laid to rest. Richard Galliford, 71, discovered his sister, who died in the 1940s,
was interred there only after his mother's death in 1985.

The children’s memorial to the 1000 and more babies and children up to 10 years of age buried here without ceremony or marker will be ready for a public unveiling at 11 am. Tuesday 15 Nov. It will be a simple but dignified event bringing justice and recognition to those laying forgotten here, but now found and becoming part of
Mr Greenhough, who set up the fundraising appeal for a memorial, said: "A lot of these parents were separated from their babies and the parents simply didn't know where the babies had ended up. "It's important to acknowledge the fact that all these babies are here, and this memorial will signify the fact that these babies do have some dignity and recognition."
