Some general notes on the gravestones in
Holy Trinity churchyard

Where relationships are indicated on a gravestone, these have been included as a note in the record of names, but no assumptions have been made, such as, for example, in designating two people of similar age in the same grave as husband and wife. The following abbreviations have been used:

H - Husband

W - Wife/widow

S - Son

D - Daughter

C - Unnamed child/children

Sis - Sister

Bro - Brother

Neph - Nephew

S-i-L - Son-in-law

Occasionally 'youngest', 'eldest' etc has been attached to the name of a child.

Some inscriptions indicate that a person mentioned was interred elsewhere, or nearby in the churchyard.

.....indicates that part of a name or inscription is missing.

Handwriting in the original survey was not always entirely legible, and a few surnames seem slightly doubtful. It should also be borne in mind that the pupils were in many instances working on already very badly weathered inscriptions.

Where initials only are shown on a stone, for example F R, R will appear in the surname column and F under first name in the lists of names.

Some gravestones recorded in 1978 are no longer in place, so there may be a name or inscription in this record, but no photograph of the stone.

Some dates were expressed in Roman numerals, but these have where possible been 'translated' into standard Arabic numerals.

Inscr in the notes column of the lists of names indicates that there is a record of some form of inscription relating to that person in the Inscriptions section.
