History and genealogy enthusiast, with an interest in preserving cemeteries and their headstones before they're lost to the elements or human "progress".

Volunteer caretaker for some local church and parish graveyards, cleaning and maintaining headstones using delicate non-abrasive methods. Also happy to help anyone with maintenance, research and photos.

Tip (Copied from England Discussion Forum):
To do a search for a cemetery or churchyard in a particular county go to cemetery search and begin with a full search for all in England. Find-A-Grave will say that there are too many records and that you should go back and refine the search so that it returns fewer results. Ignore this and in the address bar at the top of the screen, where the url reads:
