Heyope Churchyard Survey report

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 26 July 2013 by Kevin5 February 2015

The Project arranged to survey the churchyard at St. David’s church, Heyope as an opportunity to practice careful recording of archaeological materials etc. This is hoped to provide a group of trained volunteers for an eventual survey of Knucklas Castle. The report is now available from Liz Jackson (contact 01547 520182) on CD (or on paper for an additional charge).

The report does not include the details of each grave, but the grave details are also included separately on the CD. This grave information is available now on the church web siteĀ (click here) where there is a list of all the graves with their inscriptions etc., and with a map of the graves with links to the grave details.

Here are the cover and contents pages to show the scope:
