Cawston Churchyard Grave Monument Photos

November 8th, 2011 by andrew

An international grave monument directory is being compiled.  Many of the gravestones in the  churchyard and the cemetery have been photographed. 

The project aims are:

  1. to digitally photograph grave monuments worldwide that are currently legible
  2. to extract all legible personal information (name, age, date of birth, date of death, relationship) from each image
  3. to publish all legible personal information on an internet database and make this data freely available
  4. to email copies of any grave monument image free of charge to anyone requesting a copy
  5. to lodge at appropriate public record offices collections of images appropriate to that area
  6. to encourage local groups to maintain, photograph and record grave monuments
Go to the main page of the site here and navigate to England, then Norfolk to view the photos.  Alternatively click here to go straight to the photos for the churchyard.
