| Gravestones are an important part of our heritage, and carry data about our ancestors
that is recorded nowhere else. They are under threat of decay and removal. The Old
Cumbria Gazetteer has only recorded gravestones incidentally, not as part of the main
project. For many parish churches there is a list of gravestones and their inscriptions,
which might be displayed in the church and is often available at the relevant county
record office. |
