Not just 'R' Elfie, from J to RRRR. It's a very large area indeed.

You can see the map on the Anglican website. It's coloured yellow.

Jamjar,

Thank you :) :)
Agnes was a bit of a fibber with her age...when she married she reduced it by about 15 years...seems Hans Peter never found out. ;D

Hi Elfie,

No luck finding the grave. As I thought, not many headstones at all and most of the graves there don't have numbers on them, so you can't even get a general idea. So, I walked the lot.

Had a lovely chat with a blue tongue, who didn't mind me invading its space.

Thought I'd post these photos to give folk an idea of how overgrown and neglected the area is.
