SOLVED. kids fall asleep in church graveyard and are transported back in time [s]

[Debra]

I read this book when I was in 4th or 5th grade. It is geared for that age range.

I can't recall if the boy falls asleep in the graveyard or hits his head (on an unmarked grave stone) and he and his sister (I believe) are transported back in time. They live in a rich family and befriend a young servant boy(who it turns out - his was the unmarked grave). there is a fire and the servant boy dies helping them survive. the brother and sister survive and are transported back to the church graveyard.

* I read this book around 1979/1980 but I recall it looking like an older book when I read it. So possibly published years prior to that.

I have no idea what this book is, but it sounds interesting.

Thanks for the update Debra. Here's the link - The Ghosts by Antonia Barber. A popular book it seems - it's been requested and found seven times in this group.
