Understanding Our Records
GRO refers to the General Records Office records of deaths. So Q is the quarter of the year when the death occurred, followed by the year of birth. Then comes the local government area where the death was registered, followed by the volume number, and sometimes the letter of an additional volume, of their records, and finally the page where it is recorded.
REF refers to the parish Burial Register. First there is the year of the death, then the page number, and finally the entry number.
Deaths after 1999 may not yet have a GRO or Parish Register entry recorded on the website.
A portion of the interactive churchyard map is shown for context, although you can also view the whole churchyard by clicking on the Map button at the top of the page. This is especially useful if you find that there are more than one person buried in our churchyard with the name you are searching for.
We are always mindful that there are many people buried in our churchyard that do not have a memorial, and so are not included in this list. We remember all of them in our prayers.
There has been a church on this site since Saxon times. Shortly after the Norman invasion the church was rebuilt, incorporating both materials from an earlier church and also some Roman tiles no doubt picked up from the field opposite, where there had been a building in the days when a Roman road went past the church site.
