Clowne John the baptist churchyard burial ground records

[dobfarm]

Hi,

The Clowne church graveyard burial grave records only go to 1909 held at Derbyshire records office - all burial grave records post 1909 were missing, Well the new lady vicar of 3 years found the grave burial records of recent at the back of a wide shelf in the vestry and which contain post 1909 burials.

Because of COVID 19 lockdown at the moment !! the records are being kept by the lady vicar ! but when normality is retuned ? she will deposit the burial grave records in the Derbyshire records office at Matlock Derbyshire.

Unfortunately the Churchyard burial ground plot maps are missing but date & name on grave headstones do help locate graves with no headstone with the info in the burial record burial dates.

Thank you Derek

Useful website your info.

With this social distancing, the vicar was busy taking down some Xmas posters she had placed on the church steel picket fence by the main gate, and I was going to tidy up my parents plague over their cremains surrounding grass so conversation was short. In the short talk she said the burials started 1700's went right up to the 1980's( ish)

I must stress these burial records are a grave register not a parish register
