I’m sure it is around here somewhere …

The graveyard around the All Hallows Church, in Kirkburton, has more than 2000 graves with over 5000 inscriptions. As a volunteer in the award-winning Kirkburton Churchyard Team, John Wakley would regularly be tidying the grounds and noticed that people interested in tracing their family relatives often had troubles because the exact location of the grave they were looking for was unknown, or sometimes the inscriptions had become illegible over time. To preserve this historic record, and to make the searching a lot easier, Mr Wakley has recorded the inscriptions, plotted each gravestone on his hand-drawn maps, and made the records available to the wider community.
