Thankyou fluffychick, Andrew Dorricot is buried  Holy Trinity  Anglican Church , Minsterley. He was a Methodist Lay preacher but  not all nonconformist chapels were consecrated for burials at that time .
The only places for burials were Hope Church , Minsterley Holy Trinity and Lordshill Baptist Chapel.
The terrain was too rough for carriages,  but it was in any case the custom to carry  the coffins shoulder high and it was not considered respectful to put them down  on the journey.
 The funeral at Hope Church was delayed for half an hour because the ground was frozen and the journey over bleak hills had taken a few minutes longer than anticipated. The minister made the mourners wait an extra half hour --- the carriers still bearing the coffins on their shoulders.
 There was antagonism between he nonconformist churches and the Church of England  and this day it really showed!!!
