Cosgrove Churchyard North side

View to the East of the North Churchyard
Rev. W. M. Atkinson 's plan of the North Churchyard in 1918
The Priest's door leading into the Chancel.

In 2007 and 2008 a group of enthusiasts, including Bryan Egan, Heather Rokkjer and Terry Stretton began to record the monuments in the various churchyard sections at Cosgrove.
This involved them in a major clearance project to remove undergrowth and reveal stones and gravemarkers across the site. Each monument was measured, and the attributions transcribed.

Names coloured blue and green are multiple burials in grave. Names in Black are single burials in grave

Recorder No.
