<title>st Marys Church Lydney (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Len, </p>
<p>I purchased a copy of the CD - St Mary's Lydney Memorial Transcriptions back in 2010 which contained a churchyard plan.  It showed all of the headstones, flat ledger tombstones &amp; box table-top old tombstones - all numbered &amp; arranged in blocks around the church.  This CD was the work of a lot of people in the Forest of Dean branch of the Glos FHS.</p>
<p>I looked at the website of the Glos FHS (as Jeff suggested) &amp; found that the CD I purchased then seems to be not available anymore.  However, there is a CD entitled:  St Mary Lydney - Monumental Inscriptions in stock priced at £5 on their website shop.  It might also contain a churchyard map?  <br />
However, if your ancestors did not have a stone to mark their resting place, then their exact burial plot would of course not be shown on this map.</p>
<p>As the churchyard of St Mary's is so huge, I found the map &amp; reference numbers of the graves invaluable in locating the tombstones of my Benfield &amp; James ancestors.</p>

<title>st Marys Church Lydney, cemetery plan ? (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Len, welcome to the forum and website.</p>
<p>I cannot find any mention of a plan within this forum's old posts, or the rest of the site itself.</p>
<p>Have you tried asking the Church ?<br />
<a href="http://www.lydneyparish.org.uk/contacts.php">http://www.lydneyparish.org.uk/contacts.php</a></p>
<p>This site doesn't have a plan, but if it included the burials you're interested in, then the photos should help.<br />

<p>I could be wrong, but thusfar I cannot find any mention of Lydney in the various cds sold by Glos FHS.<br />
eg  <a href="http://gfhs.org.uk/products-page/cddvd/monumental-inscription-2003-2/">http://gfhs.org.uk/products-page/cddvd/monumental-inscription-2003-2/</a></p>
