Hello Judith, I'm not sure if you had a reply but maybe this may help you.

By the way, it's St Woolos, (not Woolos) name after a 5th century Welsh Saint, Saint Gwynllyw (a local school is also named after him).

You could maybe telephone the cemetry office, 01633 263864. The manage is/was (last year) Charlie Dare.

Perhaps he can help you,

Regards,

Paul

kind regards
