Website news:-
Two more graves added to the "Notable Burials" page on the website. James Fielding who was the Cemetery Registrar for some 31 years prior to his successor, Reverend Thomas Grant. The other grave added is more controversial, that of Arthur Horton, a resident of Rochdale Road, Harpurhey, who was a conscientious objector in WW1 and died in Shrewsbury Prison.
Also thank you to Jon from Eastbourne who has signed our guestbook:-
"On a very quick visit to the cemetery i had never been to before i found some of the team photographing and mapping grave sites, i wondered what was going on. They were so helpful and explained the project and were very informative. They told me of this web site and took my email address to inform me of some questions we asked, now who would go this far without being paid. Sadly i live on the south coast and cannot visit regular or help with the project but keep up the good work".As well as the preservation and recording of the memorial inscriptions at MGC for the benefit of local and family historians, we also hope this project will inspire people in other parts of the country to start their own similar projects. Not to mention the friends we have made and how much fun
we are having. As Cancan said in a previous post with 100% of the cemetery mapped and the project 50% complete, we have shown what can be achieved.
