Graveyard Project

[Steven Hill]

Hi
The need to provide a more complete archaeological recording and mapping of the Graveyards than we previously have ever done. Photographs of each stone or marker could, in-turn, also be incorporated into this compilation to further supplement the historical archival of these slowly decaying and destroyed monuments Graveyard Project website has been on test for a few weeks and is now running, it will be updated every week.

Hi Steven,

I think it's a great idea, just wish someone had thought about doing it way back when!

When I first started this genie lark in 1994, I knew from family and burial records that my Gt. Grandparents were buried in the same grave at Thornhill in Yorkshire (1915) and that they had a headstone. I was so disappointed when I went round the graveyard and didn't find it ...... nearly as many empty spaces where headstones used to be, as those which have survived!

Brilliant idea. A lot of headstones are also vandalised The web site is very good too.
Good luck!
