Archaeological Walk around Lighthorne by Richard Grove

Regrettably Richard had to cancel the walk, due to ill health. we are hoping that it will be re-scheduled for 2019.

After several years of hard work we are pleased to report that this project is finished and the Excel spreadsheet can be accessed here.

There remain several tombstones which were viewed by the Rev. Bloom in the early 20th century and several viewed in the 1985 B.M.S.G.H. survey which we failed to locate. These are listed, as are a few more modern burials in unmarked graves.

Reference sketch plans of grave positions are available via a link on the Archives page. All visible gravestones have been photographed and these are held in the society archive.
