welcome to our
headstone gallery 1
photos of
headstones in
the old
Rowland's graveyard
[ Headstone

- [ Headstone Gallery 3 ]
Here I have placed 30 photos of some of the headstones from the
old graveyard at Rowland's Cemetery.
If one of your relatives were buried in the old graveyard section
at Rowland's Methodist Church, in the village of Summerseat, I do
hope that they are within this wonderful collection of photos, that
have been kindly sent to me by somebody who has really gone out of
their way to help all of us who happen to have relatives buried in
this graveyard. If you would like a copy of one of the photos, then
please contact me by using the Contact Us button at the top of the
page, and I will be glad to send you a copy without the watermark,
but please give me the photo number, which can be seen under each
photo.
I have tried to place them in alphabetical order, but please look
through them all,
as there are some that have more than one surname in them.
I have placed 30 graves in each gallery.
Just click on a photo to see a larger photo that will open in
a separate window.

Please try to spare a few moments to make an entry in the guest
book, and give your comments on the condition of the old graveyard
at Rowland's, as I believe that the more entries that are made
regarding this matter can help me to make it known to the church
council that there are many of us who would dearly like to be able
to visit the resting places of our relatives.
Thank you so much.
