He stated in his will 'Burials in Rotherham Churchyard no longer being permitted, I suggest that my remains shall be interred in my own land, where I have driven a stake at the foot of the hill, near Lord Galways ash tree, or if this is objected to, in Darfield Churchyard, at the least possible expense. 'There is a parish hearse at Darfield, to be had by parishioners for a few shillings. Ebenezer Elliott, 17th August 1845.' Note He was buried in Darfield Churchyard.
