Baby

The body of a baby was found inside the south gate of Sithney Churchyard at about 8am on Tuesday 13 January 1959.

It was found by a farm worker who worked at Glebe Farm, Sithney who said that he noticed an unusual object on the steps leading into the churchyard whilst he was going to breakfast from his employment. He said that when he was returning from his breakfast that he noticed the object again and when he looked closer found that it was a carrycot containing a child with a note pinned to the child's clothing.
