JUNE 2006
The God's Acre project is now successfully completed.
The final paper work has been sent off, but work
will continue to follow the management plan with
the occasional meeting to update if necessary.
The project has been a very successful scheme
that has encouraged extensive community involvement
in the preservation and long-term care of the
churchyard. The participation activities including
workshops, surveys, events, exhibitions, together
with the booklets and website, have forged a deepening
interest in the heritage of the churchyard and
its features - an interest which extends far and
wide and is a fitting tribute to the organisers
of the project, the volunteers and the support
of the LHI who have made the project possible.
