Hi Dana and a warm welcome to the forum.
I'm guessing by your time of writing you're not in the Forest or possibly even UK, which is fine of course, many forum users are from all over the world and all are very welcome. Unfortunately it seems unlikely that Suzan will see your post; her username is NOT displayed in blue which means she's not visited the forum for some while, however theres always a chance she'll revisit of course, I do hope she sees your post somehow. Please can you ensure you read the "must read before posting" section at top of the forum menu, it advises you not to include complete email addresses or phone numbers etc. Sadly being a public forum all such information may be read and possibly "captured" by the automated systems used by undesirable "scammers" so you might received unwanted and possibly damaging emails. Any forum user can still send you emails using the direct & secure email system within the site, by clciking the blue envelope icon by each username. At the very least, please edit your post to replace the @ symbol with AT, or similar, I'm told this is safer. Thankyou.

You mention Longhope; if you havent already found mention of it perhaps while searching this forum or the rest of this website, there is also an excellent Longhope village website you might like to visit, another good source of all things present & past wrt the village. The section on All Saints Church includes photos and transcriptions of many memorials and a layout plan of the churchyard. The Church and adjoining churchyard is well worth visiting in person, a delightful place within a lovely old village.
