See, so many tales to tell! Thanks for that information, very interesting. This is why it saddens me that 18 headstones are now out of view. I was told the ones which only had details near the top of the headstones are the ones they have kept upright. That must mean the ones BURIED must have A LOT of information on them which, although recorded, cannot be seen by interested relatives anymore.
Just attached a today's general view of the churchyard.
