Graveyard research - Once the information has be gathered and collated in regard to the memorial stones in the church and church yard, the grant would be spent on printing a final document.
We are a small group of volunteers who are currently working through the parish records at All Saints Church, Burmarsh. As part of this work it has been noted that there needs to be some correlation of records with regard to the grave stones and memorials within the existing church yard.
Our group has started photographing and documenting the memorials and is intending to carry out research into the history of the individual gravestones and their associated families with a view to producing a booklet that would be available to all who visit the church.
We hope, with the help of the Community Archaeologist and the 5th continent project, we can plot the grave stones and make a map of the church and the graveyard.
