No worries Phil. pm me your email address and I'll send that to you now.
It's not a brilliant photo but, sure, take this one and when I get a minute I'll call round there again and get you a better one

PADIHAM (ST. LEONARD) CHURCHYARD EXTENSION
KAY. ROLAND, 3657418 -Row 7. Div. 6. Grave 9.



bad news, Phil... no marked graves any more in this churchyard (apart from a few older stones that have been gathered together ornamentally). The "extension" appears to now be a "green space" with a couple of benches. There may be something commemorating the burials inside the church, but there was a funeral going on so I didn't want to go poking around....

 

Dave, thanks for trying, i'll write to the CWGC to see what they say, as surprised that they have let the grave be removed.

Phil

 

I don't think the actual graves have been removed, Phil (it's still officially a consecrated burial ground), just the markers. If there's a memorial stone (or similar) somewhere (maybe inside the church?), then everything is above board and within the charter of the CWGC.

Dave.

 

Phil, Here are South Lancs on CWGC Groesbeek Memorial.

Cheers
Paul

Dave, really appreciate the effort that youve put in with two visits for a single headstone, and one that invloved fence climbing at that , and your right about the Newspaper cutting, a real added bonus.

in relation to Clitheroe and New Row, the details that I have are as follows.

CLITHEROE CEMETERY
WRIGLEY. WILLIAM, 3391180 - Grave 1005.
This Cemetery is on the Waddington Road, opposite Clitheroe (St. Joseph's) Roman Catholic Cemetery.

NEW ROW METHODIST BURIAL GROUND
WALMSLEY, RONALD HENRY, 3659712 - Plot I. Row 6. Grave 22.
There is no directions on the CWGC site, but my casualty and the majority of theose interred are from the Mill Hill / Blackburn area, so it looks like it is the one that you are thinking off.

Google is coming up with the following; Row Methodist Church. Heys Lane, Blackburn, Lancashire BB2 4NW

Thanks once again Dave

Phil
