Note: The local council have put preservation orders on all trees but
not on the graves in the Tabernacle Churchyard. Some graves have got very large trees or bushes growing
out of them, in fact a few tomb/head-stones have been damaged. The Churchyard is unkept and
over-gown in places. The Tabernacle building is now an Auction Room.
Two years ago after a very long search I (Alf) found the location of Grt Grandparents, Aunts &
Uncles all in an unmarked grave
