    The church of IJhorst was probably founded before 1292 by the Zwarte Water monastery. The church is located in the old core, close to the Reest. The church never had a tower, but it did have a belfry. drenthe.nl/locaties/513480381/kerk-ijhorst

      Burials were held in the church until 1836, after that it was banned, even for families who traditionally had their own burial grounds there. In the year 1887, during a renovation, a burial vault of 4.30 meters long, 1.70 meters wide and 1.19 deep was discovered, where six abbots of Dickninge were buried (former monastery on the Dickninge estate). The cellar was closed with a keystone with the year 1245 chiseled into it. As a result, one could assume that there was a church in IJhorst in 1245.

      See kerk-ijhorst-dewijk.nl under the heading "history of the church" and then "the cemetery".
