Forward

A record of existing and readable footstones and headstones as at April 2008

The headstone provides a genealogical record of names, dates, age and relationships of people etc

A footstone shows the deceased's initials and year of death. I have included them where the headstone is missing or unreadable

 

Gravestone Inscriptions by location

I have split the churchyard into 3 defined burial areas to help locate the gravestone

1) East side of grass path leading to Church door
