grave stones
« on: Tuesday 18 October 05 19:33 BST (UK) »
just read this

         From the Worcester [Evening] News, 12 Oct 2005:
 
People with family graves in the grounds of the Congregational Church in
Bromyard are being invited to claim the old gravestones.
 
The gravestones, most of which date back to the 1800s, are due to be moved
when the chapel is renovated.  Anyone who believes they have relatives
buried there can check the record of the headstones held by the Bromyard &
District Local History Society.
 
If they can establish a family link they will be able to see the headstones
at the church in Sherford Street by arrangement with the owners, the charity
Preservation.
 
Headstones can be removed if families wish.  Any gravestone not claimed by
November 30 will be disposed of.
