Would you like me to send you the photos of the two I mentioned or are they too recent?

I took some photos of the church too, but don't feel obliged to say yes - I was happy to look and it wasn't out of my way as I was driving past anyway. 🙂

I could only find two graves, both late 20th Century (deaths in 1970 and 1988 on one and both 1995 on the other).  :'( walked slowly up and down all the rows - it's a fairly large area.

A great number of the older headstones were illegible.

What sort of age graves am I looking for for your Grists?

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?
I live about 15 / 20 minutes away from NSP, and I'm planning a trip at some stage to do a walk! I'd be happy to have a look around the graveyard (I've driven past the church hundreds of times, but I've no idea how feasible this is, as I'm not sure of the size) to see if I can find any Grists.  :)

As a caveat, I'm currently out of action, as I stupidly tripped over in Bristol recently and have hurt my knee, so it may be a few weeks before I can look. If you'd like me to, please send me a PM.  I'm a very sporadic visitor to the site these days, but I'll make sure to check back for the next week to see if you've seen my post.

If you look at the second paragraph of this link there is a mention of the location of the "local Liberal club".

You may have seen it before, of course.  :)

What has happened to Joni's posts?  I can only see a letter 'b' in them?   ???

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: East Lydford church

Hi Matthew.  I live about half an hour away from East Lydford, and whilst I don't go past it often, I would be happy to take some snaps from you if nobody else is able to - it might not be until next spring though!

However, a potential problem... you don't say which church it is.   According to Wikipedia (look up Lydford-on-the-Fosse) the church of St Mary's at East Lydford was last used in 1987 and has been privately owned since 1993.  Is this the church you mean, or is there another?

Can anybody help to identify the uniform in this photo please?

Also, I'm trying to see if I can date it.  I realise this is practically impossible but I thought it was worth a shot. :)



Thanks in advance.  :)

ETA:  I'll see if I can capture the badge a little larger.

ETA Again!
