New maps of the Cemetery are being produced by RSHG Mapping Work Group using the old hand drawn maps from Bereavement Services, details from the Burial Registers, and diligent surveying in the Cemetery. The new maps should make it easier for people to find a particular grave.
43 RSHG Maps have been produced so far (Jan 2010). This is a work in progress so it is worth checking back from time to time for updates.
Link to map of the whole of the cemetery showing the individual RSHG numbered maps produced so far. This is a work in progress and the map is updated from time to time. In March 2009 RSHG maps of the Old Parish Cemetery and the Old Cemetery were been completed, and we started mapping the New Cemetery.
Mapping the whole twelve acre cemetery by the Group is a long term project. It is estimated that 61 maps will be needed in total to complete the mapping project.
Each record (on the graves page) gives a map and grid reference: e.g. Ellen DUSELDORFT can be found on map RSHG 001, and in grid box A1. The Transcribing Group only records the names that can be seen on the memorials but you may still be able to find the location of burials where there are no markers or where the graves are too overgrown to read. Try looking up the names in the Alphabetical Map Indexes as these Indexes include ALL the names for all the graves shown on the maps, even if we have been unable to transcribe them.
Links to the maps and the Alpha-Index are provided below. If you spot any inaccuracies please let us know.
Please be aware that even with the maps some graves are difficult or near impossible to locate on the ground. Please refer to the legend, which explains the conventions used in drawing the maps, for example, whether the grave plot has a marker, has been recorded, or is overgrown.
If you have any problems using the maps, please contact David Earle.
The Map files are *.pdf files. If you don’t have an Adobe *.pdf viewer you can download one as a free download from http://www.adobe.co.uk/main.html . The files are large (to enable them to be easily read) so please allow them time to load.
Cemetery Maps
Legend - This contains important information to help you understand the maps (Last updated 5 July 2009 ).
Map of the whole cemetery showing how the individual RSHG numbered maps will cover the whole of the Cemetery.
RSHG Maps 001 - 006 cover the Old Parish Cemetery and RSHG Maps 007 to 030 cover the Old Cemetery. Maps 031 onwards will cover the New Cemetery. Not all of the maps for the New Cemetery are available yet but more will be added when drawn. Corrections and alterations to existing maps may be made at a future date.
