Hi everyone.
Does anyone have any information on the relawning project or removal of gravestones from Streatham Park Cemetery? It turns out my grandmothers grave was one of those where the headstone and all grave markers were removed. I have the exact location of her burial site: 27747 in square 7B, but there is no marker. just grass.

From a random record I found online, https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200001/cmselect/cmenvtra/91/91m76.htm, it states that 'The Local Authorities Cemeteries Order 1977, which allows the clearance of monuments from cemeteries, nonetheless orders that any surviving inscriptions must be recorded, photographically or otherwise, before they are removed.'

So I'm wondering if anyone knows where this record might be?
Thanks in advance!
