Martin Nicholson's Cemetery Project
St Mary, Cusop, Herefordshire
The church originated in the early
12th century. There were restorations in 1857 and 1961. The ancient yew trees
in the churchyard are mentioned in the Domesday Book.
In 1740, following his return from a
trip to America, William Seward commenced open-air preaching on his own
account. He encountered hostile crowds in South Wales and then at Hay-on-Wye in
October he was heavily stoned by a particularly aggressive mob and a few days
later died from his wounds, thus becoming the first Methodist martyr. He is
buried near Hay, in the village churchyard at Cusop. The church there has a
memorial tablet, which was dedicated in August 1978, 238 years after
Seward’s death.
