Thorpe Wesleyan Church Memorials

Thorpe Wesleyan Methodist Memorials

Non-conformist records | Parish Church Records

Baptisms | Marriages | Burials | Memorial Inscriptions

The memorials for Thorpe Wesleyan Methodists are taken from two sites. The smaller Chapel Graveyard and Croft Street Cemetery. The Chapel Graveyard transcription is complete and the Croft Street Cemetery has also now reached completion. These have replaced the older Blackburn transcriptions, except those entries that are from now missing or overturned stones. Please note that the numbering system is our own, simply to show the separate graves.

Note: One of the inscribed stone faces of memorial No.5 has been gradually crumblimg away and the top part of it has now completely disappeared. Names, dates, etc.which are marked in bold type indicate that this information is now no longer on the memorial, therefore the missing inscriptions have been transferred from Mr Blackburn's memorial transcriptions. The accuracy of this transferred information cannot therefore be checked or confirmed.
