St Thomas a Beckett, Lewes
« on: Thursday 27 June 13 16:08 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Does anyone have access to the Burial Registers for St Thomas a Beckett in Lewes.

In the 1970's the Graveyard for the church was cleared and their remains interred elsewhere, plus the stones were sealed up in a cave when they built the Cuilfail Tunnel, but, lately whilst clearing the undergrowth around the Tunnel, a footstone has been found with the following inscription:

E.T.
1838
J.T.
1846

Can anyone check the Burial Register please to identify ET and JT
