Friends Burial Ground, Benfieldside

[AllanUK]

An ancestor died on the 2nd January 1812 (residing at Iveston). Records show that she was a Quaker and that she was buried on the 5th January at the Friends Burial Ground, Benfieldside. Does anyone know where this burial ground is / was situated?

You can see it in the middle of this map:

There was originally a meeting house there too - see this older map (not available in the side-by-side view) - you'll have to zoom in to the Shotley Bridge area on the western edge:

Thank you arthurk - I see that it is basically Shotley Bridge. The grave yard is now part of a private garden with some gravestones still existing.
