Burial Sites used to compile these lists
The following summary shows burial sites surveyed.
They are arranged according to the number of persons mentioned on inscriptions.
It is possible to gain a rough estimate of the number of individuals before
starting a survey by noting the year in which the 1813 burial register was
closed and calculating the number of years in which it was in use. If 38,000 is
then divided by this figure you have a rough estimate of what to expect. At
least sufficient idea to classify the survey as small (< 250), medium (250 to
900) or large (> 900)
The figure for people indexed is slightly overstated since the same person is
sometimes mentioned both in the churchyard and inside the church and sometimes
more than once inside the church. This figure also includes individuals
mentioned on war memorials and persons mentioned on grave stones but not buried
in the same parish.
If you know of any burial site south of the A47 and west of
the A11 which has not been surveyed please let me know. In 2006 I have been
asked to start with Stow Bedon but this has yet to be arranged.
