High Tech Scanning of Graves

Commonwealth War Grave of H Lockley of the Royal Artillery

As part of our National Lottery Heritage Project we are having the burials and graves in our churchyard scanned and recorded digitally. In a pack carried by the technician, the scanner records and photographs each grave to allow those seeking the graves of relatives to access an image alongside the details records we have already created and mapped over the past few years. Once cross referred to our index and maps, this information will be available to search on-line on this website or via an index in the church porch for those just visiting for a look around. We are most grateful to Graham Clay, a member of our Heritage Committee for his painstaking recording of the thousands of burials in the churchyard, his wonderful drawings and maps and his attention to detail in the creation of the index. Graham and his colleague David answer many queries via the enquiry form on this website about family burials and that service will still be available.
