I went for a walk round the graveyard today because the weather was nice and I only live 5 mins away. I am absolutely disgusted with the church/ council over the state of this graveyard.
It looks very nice from the A6 but as soon as you go round the side and the back out of 'public' view it is an absolute mess. Just thought I'd let anyone know who plans to find any graves here.
 You need a steady foot and alot of the graves are tipped over and not easy to read due to overgrown vegetation.
Alot of the grave stones have been moved to build some houses in the middle of the grave yard at the rear of the church.

Sorry for my rant but it just annoyed me the state of it >:(

When I got a reply from the Working Class Movement Library, they suggested a link with the London one but said no records have survived.

I was hoping to find some relatives who may have been members but seems it maybe a futile search

Thanks for the help Barbara

I am looking for any records on the above society as I have just got a book called British Chimney Sweeps by Benita Cullingford and it mentions this society which was started by Manchester and Salford Chimney Sweeps.
Acording to the book the society took part in the City Trades Procession on Saturday 15th Sept 1877.

I have emailed Working Class Movement Library, Salford Local History Library, Manchester County Records Office and Chethams Library to see if they have any information.

Can anyone else point me in the right direction or have anymore information?

Cheers
Suzanne

I recently went to St John at Irlam o'th Height to find some family graves as my gran had mentioned alot of her family were buried there.
I had a look through the grave stones at the rear of the church and found one but when I spoke to my gran she said the grave yard used to be full.

Does anyone know where I can find any monumental Inscriptions of the graveyard before it was grassed over?

Cheers
Suzanne
