welcome to our headstone gallery 1

photos of headstones in

the old Rowland's graveyard

 

[ Headstone Gallery 1 ] - [ Headstone Gallery 2 ] - [ 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.
