Hello Flocer. I think the best way is to just type in the inscriptions and then you can read them and see what you make of them. Hope there is some useful information.

This one is an old stone but rather weathered :-

Also Jane the rest unreadable.

Hi Adam

This is a great work.

If you get chance and there aren't too many, could we have any hutchinson, Lowther Young inscriptions?  If there are too many could we have especially the Hutchinson ones please?

(All conceivably part of our travelling clan with the Berry's).

Thank you for all the good work you do.

Best wishes

Adam,

I noticed you hadn't got any Cheatham headstones listed at the beginning of the thread. There were a couple of headstones by the far wall of St Mary and St Stephen's Wolsingham  (far left wall from entrance from Church Lane) - tower of the church side of the churchyard .

Last time I visited Wolsingham the headstones were in a very bad way being under trees etc and the large headstone was leaning but I have details of them from a previous visit.

Just a newbie so I can't pm.

Best wishes,

Carole

Hello Carole. I have added the Cheatham surname that I have to the  list. I think it would be a good idea if you posted the difficult to read gravestone. It may help someone.

Hello, this is my first time on the site so please excuse me if I sound a bit green.
I am looking for the surname ADAMSON Anthony in Wolsingham, the family would appear to have been farmers in the area and related to the Vasey surname.  The family would appear to move away from Wolsingham to Oakenshaw by 1841 and then to Yorkshire by 1861.

I look forward to your assistance and advice.  Many thanks  Lynn
