the old Rowland's graveyard

 

[ Headstone Gallery 1 ] - [ Headstone Gallery 2 ] - [ Headstone Gallery 3 ]

 

Here are another 30 graves that are in the old graveyard at Rowland's.

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.

 

Just click on a photo to see a larger photo that will open in a separate window.

 

 

 

Here is a photo showing how overgrown the graveyard is, you can just make out some headstones if you look close.

It also shows just how difficult it must have been getting these great photos of some of our ancestors headstones.

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.
