In 1989/90 a survey of the graveyard was carried out by The Family History Society in association with the Birmingham and Midland Society for Genealogy and Heraldry.

This survey resulted in the production of a detailed map of the graveyard, with inscriptions and a description of all the graves and including the memorials inside the church. A copy of this document is held in the Parish Office.

It should be noted that the graveyard is very large and overgrown. It is always advisable to seek help before attempting to find a grave and the following points should be noted:

1. Not all graves are marked with headstones.

2. Many inscriptions are badly worn and/or illegible.

3. Many graves have been damaged or have fallen over time.

4. In the past, the layout of burials was random with graves often being cut across or through other plots.

5. The churchyard here is very ancient with burials dating back over 900 years.

6. The burial registers do not list where graves were sited.

If you wish to visit the graveyard you are most welcome to do so. Strong footwear is recommended - be prepared for a bit of a scramble!
