Norton St Philip

[Bagpuss_Janet]

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.

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

FindMyPast seems to have burials for Grist’s at N.S.P from the 1810’s

Findagrave has some listed but no photo’s.  Trouble with that is it does not indicate the source of the information so there is no confirmation it comes from a headstone

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.

It is so frustrating when you can't read those old headstones.

Thank you for looking.  Sadly, they could be amongst the illegible headstones.

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. 🙂
