Thanks to May Brace and her team of helpers the Ruardean Congregational Chapel Memorial Inscriptions are now completed. All of the surviving gravestones in the yard have been photographed and transcribed where possible.

A new section on the Website has been created where you can view the photos of the gravestones and the transcripts. Additionally we've added some recent photos of the inside and outside of the Chapel.

Having looked through my records I have found that my grandparents 5 times down the line GILES BRAIN who died in 1796 and his wife ANN BRAIN who died in 1813 are buried in Ruardean parish chapel .Is this the same chapel that is in this topic .If so what will happen to their bodies will they be reburied in a mass grave somewhere and if so will their names be made available as to who is buried there??? REGARDS CAROL

I'd like to thank May and all her helpers for their sterling and much appreciated work.
The images of the grave stones are most touching. Bless you all.
