  • Itteringham Churchyard Survey Names Aug06
    ST MARY’S ITTERINGHAM CHURCHYARD SURVEY The survey of gravestones inside Itteringham Church and in the Churchyard covers all the legible grave markers and in many cases has involved lengthy scrutiny of older stones to make out the text. Where there are gaps in what is decipherable, they are noted. We think it unlikely anyone would glean more information from looking at the stones themselves. Please see our selection of photos of the churchyard and selected stones. For some stones we have added information from the parish registers, most of which are lodged with the Norfolk Record Office. Clearly there are many more burials than there are surviving gravestones. For ease of surveying we divided the stones into 9 sections, which are used in the numbering system below. Please see the plan for details, but the 9 sections are as follows: • Inside the church • A – the south-east corner of the churchyard • B – the south-west corner • C – the central west section • D – the north-west corner • E – the central north section • F – the north-east corner • G – the central east section • H – the south-east section adjacent to the church St Mary’s Itteringham - Gravestones Inside The Church There are 4 flat stones set in the church floor; 2 in the nave and 2 in the chancel. Ch 001 Black granite flat stone in the middle of the aisle of the nave. 200cm * 99cm. Armorial shield-like decoration at the top, with 2 lions rampant. Inscription: Here lieth the body of Ann the wife of Samuel ROBBINS Who departed this life April 16 th 1748 Aged 41 years Also of the abovesaid Samuel ROBBINS Who died March ye 7 th 1764 Aged 55 years Ch 002 Badly worn sandstone flat stone in the aisle of the nave near the pulpit.

  • Prince George's County, Maryland
    $3.50 PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND Cemetery preservation manual December 2010 The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission www.mncppc.org Abstract Title: Prince George’s County, Maryland, Cemetery Preservation Manual Author: The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission Subject: A manual for the preservation of historic cemeteries in Prince George’s County, Maryland Date: December 2010 Source of Copies: The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission 14741 Governor Oden Bowie Drive Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 On the web at: http://www.pgplanning.org/Historic-Preservation.htm Series Number: 961102405 Number of Pages: 72 Abstract: Historic cemeteries contain information on the county’s social, cultural, and historic heritage. Cemeteries provide genealogical data and information on the history of a particular place, religious practice, and lifestyle. They also display the folk art of tombstone carving and preserve the natural features of the landscape. Regrettably, many cemeteries—especially family burial plots—have been abandoned and suffer from neglect. This manual provides information on the types of cemeteries present in Prince George’s County, why it is important to preserve cemeteries, how to develop a cemetery preservation plan, where to look for funding, and how to research and survey historic cemeteries. Guidance is offered on basic preservation techniques, including initial clean-up, regular maintenance, gravestone cleaning, repairs, resetting gravestones, and selecting a skilled conservator. The appendices provide a glossary of terms commonly used in cemetery research, survey, and preservation, how to identify cemetery features, sample survey forms, cemetery laws, and a bibliography. Through this manual, M-NCPPC hopes to bolster local cemetery preservation efforts and generate additional support for the protection of historic burial grounds.

  • Early American Gravestones Introduction to the Farber Gravestone Collection by Jessie Lie Farber
    Early American Gravestones Introduction to the Farber Gravestone Collection by Jessie Lie Farber Copyright 2003 American Antiquarian Society ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who is interested in America’s early gravestones? How did this collection of gravestone photographs develop? How were the photographs made? Where are the colonial burying grounds? Have early American graveyards changed over time? Why do the early stones face west? How many early American gravestones are there? What are common sizes and shapes of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century gravestones? What materials were used? What is the current condition of the early stones? What can be done to lengthen the life of these artifacts? Who carved the stones? How is a carver identified? What motifs decorate the stones? What do the motifs on the stones mean? Who wrote the inscriptions? What was the general form of the inscription? What kinds of verses were used? What is the source of the verses? What quotations were used? What was the lettering style, wording, and layout of the inscriptions? What is the relationship between the motifs and the inscriptions? Are there many variations on the basic gravestone styles here described? What conclusions can be drawn from the study of the country’s early gravestones? RECOMMENDED READING ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Creating this photograph collection was a fascinating labor of love that dominated and enhanced our lives for more than twenty years. In each of its two phases we have enjoyed a great deal of assistance from friends, colleagues, and institutions. We thank those who aided us in our search for interesting old burial grounds.

  • Guidelines for Cemetery Conservation
    NATIONAL TRUST GUIDELINES FOR CEMETERY CONSERVATION SECOND EDITION 2009 PRODUCED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A NSW HERITAGE GRANT • All cemeteries are significant to the community • Some are significant to the nation at large, some to a religious or ethnic group or a region, some mainly to a single family • The conservation of cemeteries means retaining this significance • All management, maintenance and repair in cemeteries should be guided by sound conservation principles so that significance is retained CEMS\Policy Paper Review & model letters\2nd Edition Dec 08.doc i GUIDELINES FOR CEMETERY CONSERVATION PRELUDE STOP! READ THIS HERITAGE CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU BEGIN CEMETERY WORK Cemeteries protected by statutory heritage listings sometimes have special requirements or controls for work. This checklist will help you to identify who may need to "sign-off" on your proposed works. 1) Is the item (or place) on the State Heritage Register? Check on the Heritage Office website at: www.heritage.nsw.gov.au 2) Is the item more than 50 years old? (eg a displaced 1926 headstone). 3) Is the item/place on a Local or Regional heritage list? Find out from the local Council. If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions then you will need advice on how to proceed. The local Council officers and the National Trust can give initial advice. (Also see Part 3, Section 3.2 of these Guidelines.) In all cases after complying with any special requirements, you should then go back to the controlling authority (Church, Council, property owner etc.) and confirm that you have permission to proceed.
