Information (previously long lost) on the gravestones in the yeard until 1966
Until very recently, we would have had to respond with "we don't know" because in the mid 1960's all the gravestones were removed. The departed remain in situ but we didn't have a map of where or who was in this yard which was open only from 1846 to 1908, after which it was closed.
However, we have found a map from April 1966 and a record of the stones. Please download the adobe pdf of the schedule and refer to the map to the right.
This part of the map shows the south part of the churchyard. I am in the process of scanning in the other sides of the church, which will be displayed shortly.
