We are very grateful to Findagrave.com for photographing and detailing our graves, which can be found using the link below:

In the section 'Who's Who' we are adding brief details of some of our 'residents', but this will take some time to do.
If you take a closer look at the headstones and monuments you will see differing styles and numerous symbols and motifs. Our Friends at nearby Dockroyd Graveyard Trust have published a small book which describes the meanings of these, based on their own graveyard. It is a very good read and you can order a copy from their website, entitled 'Headstone Symbols Explained - a guide to monumental iconography in Dockroyd Graveyard' by Andrew R Heaton. www.dockroydgraveyardtrust.org.uk.
