Westbourne Churchyard Memorials

Around The Year 2000 A Dedicated Group Of People Undertook A Monster Project And Produced A Detailed Record Of Each Memorial In The Churchyard Of Westbourne Church. Each Record Includes A Drawing Of The Gravestone/Tomb And A Transcription Of The Inscription. The History Group Has Now Scanned All 300 Plus Pages And Can Supply An Image Of Any Particular Record. Enquiries Re The Names Of Those Commemorated Are Welcome, And A List Is Also Included In Our Booklet “Westbourne Memorials – Church And Churchyard”.’

 

( UPDATE 2024 – PARISH COUNCIL HAVE MADE BETTER SCANS THAN OURS – ALL AVAILABLE ON NET.

We Should Emphasise That The Churchyard, With A Tiny Number Of Exceptions, Closed In 1860.
