Title: Basic Layout of the Graveyard at Christ Church, Coatham,
Post by: temps on Saturday 02 May 20 13:22 BST (UK)

Hi All

Am planning a family history trip in the summer, and Christ Church, Coatham is on the list to find 4 burials.

I have the plot numbers for 2 child burials and likely no headstones, but no plan of the graveyard, wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the layout, the other 2 will be a search, Husband & Wife so likely 1 grave.

I visited last year to search for a grave, and landed lucky, looking for C-15-22, came in from Kirkleatham Street, and the headstone was the 2nd row in on the right, about 20 feet up the path.

Child Plots are:

B Row 18 Grave 44
B, Row 16, No 35

Same area, different rows.

Any help would be brilliant

Nigel

Might be an ideas to contact the church, especially as you have the plot numbers.

Alternatively perhaps contact Cleveland Family History Society - I see that they have copies of the Memorial Inscriptions for Coatham, so possibly they will have the layout.
