I have ancestors buried in the churchyard at Norton St Philip. Is there anyone with an interest in Norton St Philip who can assist me with my research?

Findagrave has a few photos of graves at NSP. What is it that you are needing help with so we know if we can help.

Do any records exist of the marked graves in the churchyard? I live in Surrey so it is not easy to visit.

Sadly that entry on findagrave does not prove that there are headstones, many entries on that site have been entered from burial records.

Not sure if this will help you find some information
