Therfield Chapel Records

The Chapel was built in 1854, and has it's own website at www.therfieldchapel.org


Baptisms and Marriages

The baptism and marriage registers may be transcribed here eventually.


Burials

The burial records at the Chapel website are quite extraordinary, and possibly unique.  Not only are there transcripts of headstone inscriptions in both Churchyard and Burial Ground, but also plans showing the position of each grave, and transcripts of the burial registers.  In addition, there are individual photographs of every grave.

The grave photos are rather small, but can be enlarged by selecting 'Fit to width', which extends the page to fit the whole width of the screen.  The method used to achieve this will depend on what program you or your computer uses to view PDF files, but it should make a significant improvement, especially if you have a wide screen.

It would be unethical, possibly illegal, and utterly pointless, to duplicate the transcripts, but here is a list of surnames recorded.....

ANDERSON, ANDREWS, BAKER, BARNES, BATT, BIRD, BONFIELD, BONNET, BRYANT, BULLARD, BULLEN, CAMP, COXALL, EDWARDS, FOSTER, FREEMAN, GATWARD, GRANT, GREEN, GREIG, GROOM, HAGGAR, HAGGER, HALE, JENKINS, JUDGE, KNIGHTS, LEETE, LEPPARD, MATTHEWS, MEAD, MOULE, NUNN, PARKER, PRESTON, PROUDFOOT, RAND, RAYMENT, REYNOLDS, ROAST, ROUSE, SHIPLEY, SMITH, TAFFS, TRIGG, TURNER, WARREN, WATSON, WEBB, WILKERSON, and WINTER.

And here is a list of people whose headstone inscriptions have been beautifully transcribed at the Chapel website (graves in burial ground unless stated otherwise).....
