A Burial & Memorial Record of Astley Churchyard, Shropshire 2007
(last update 31/3/2010)
by the Hadnall & District History Group
This research represents the work of a group of members of the Hadnall
& District History Group. We would like to take this opportunity to
thank Rev Rob Haarhoff and his parishioners for allowing us to do the
recording. We would also like to thank the Shropshire Family History
Society for their help. We have used their numbering system and added
to it where appropriate. A special thank you to Ian Dodds for making
the interactive burials map.
Explanation
It was decided that the best format for the accessabilityof the data
was to create an off-line "website". The CD contains this "website" of
links to all the grave records we have been able to record - matching
up text and photographs. In addition, the data is available in
spreadsheet form so the records can be sorted by other researchers. We
have also included memorials from within and without the church. Some
headstones that have been moved to a position under the holly tree have
not been recorded due the dense undergrowth!
It is hoped that these formats will be easy to keep updated with
additions and amendments. Any additional information will be welcomed.
