This is an abbreviated list of the details transcribed from all the memorials in the burial ground. Memorials commemorating
deaths less than 30 years old have not been included to avoid upsetting any relatives of the recently bereaved, details are
available on request. Full details of all memorials are available by contacting the MI Coordinator at:
http://www.opcdorset.org/LittonCheneyFiles/LittonCheney.htm.
Please quote the MI reference number, the parish, the burial ground and the surname on all requests. Researchers are
asked to please bear in mind that weathering of the stone and lichen growth can make transcription difficult and incomplete
or even impossible in some cases.
Everything is transcribed exactly as is, but without capitalisation other than for all surnames. Items in blue are not actually
transcribed on the monument but are deduced and included to allow sorting and searching by surname. * indicates
unreadable information.

VILLAGE FACILITIES
THE CHURCHYARD
The Churchyard: The churchyard surrounds the Church and slopes fairly sharply in places from north to south; the extension at the
north end is presently a wildlife area with paths and picnic places from which you can enjoy a vast panoramic view of the coastal
ridge with Hardy's monument to the east. There are many interesting old gravestones including box graves cut from Purbeck stone
liberally adorned with yellow lichens. The grass is cut and the yard generally maintained by a small band of volunteers who are
constantly on the lookout for additions to their number!
