Information from the Sherington Historical Society Committee Meeting No. 93
Matters Arising: The village hall booking for June has been cancelled.
May Meeting: It was a very chilly evening when members met in St. Laud’s churchyard to start photographing and recording the gravestones and their inscriptions. The committee thought that members had “enjoyed” doing something constructive. Quite a number of the stones were recorded but it was found that many needed clearance work done before a photograph could be taken. Rev. Marriott has no objection to SHS tidying those graves that are in need of such work..
The work schedule looks as follows:
- Area A: All gravestones and inscriptions have been photographed except for 2 that have kerb stones.
- Area B: This is a large section and there is still work to be completed.
- Area C: No work has been done.
- Area D: Ann Hojnor has photographed area D. There is a gravestone in area D for Nathan J.A. Locmelis-McNeil who died in 1999. The inscription is written in a Cyrillic (Slavonic) language.
- Area E: Almost completed. Norman Arnold missed one gravestone!
- Area G: Almost completed.
- Area H: Not yet started but there are only 9 headstones in this area.
- Area X: Ray Bailey has started photographing the area. MV has photographed some of the gravestones and also the memorial seats and the stones used as a pathway.
- Cremation Stones along the pathway: MV has started photographing this section.
