About The Project

We have recorded all the memorials inside and outside our lovely 13thC church so that the information about the past inhabitants of this tiny rural parish is preserved for posterity.

If you suspect that one of your ancestors was remembered by a memorial here, we hope that you will be able to use the website to find out more about them. If you would like to visit a memorial, the churchyard is always open. The church is open from Easter time to October, and a key is available locally at all other times (details in the notice board in the church porch). Of course, not all graves were marked with a memorial in days gone by, but all are remembered in our prayers by the present-day congregation.


The Emmersons

The project was started in 1994 by John and Yvonne Emmerson (pictured left), as a survey of all the memorials in the church and the churchyard. It would not have been possible without the hard work of Mona Leckie (pictured above).

A Team of Local Volunteers

The churchyard is maintained by a much-appreciated small group volunteers. Their aim is to enable visitors to be able to visit their relatives' graves whilst still allowing the grass, flowers and hedges to grow and support the wildlife. This is important because the churchyard is surrounded by intensive farmland.


The current congregation of All Saints feel privileged to continue the long tradition of worship in the church. We are supported by the other parishes in the Coxford Benefice of the Diocese of Norwich.


For any further information, please contact the churchwarden, Colin Vogel.
