  • Churchyard Inscriptions
    Churchyard Inscriptions Prior to 1999, no accurate plan of Bunny Churchyard was known to exist. The Index of Memorial Inscriptions recorded by Nottinghamshire Family History Society in 1984 was used as a basis for the study and the Churchyard was accurately surveyed during 1999. A few gravestones were missed in the 1984 survey, including that of Mary Champin who died in 1702 (the earliest so far discovered.) The latest gravestone recorded in the work is dated 1984. Against each located grave in the INDEX OF GRAVES is a co-ordinate reference to the CHURCHYARD PLAN, consisting of four figures. The first two indicate the row number in which the grave is to be found and the last two figures indicate its position in that row. Unfortunately the Churchyard plan is not yet available in an electronic form, although it is hoped a copy will be placed within Bunny Church soon. It is also hoped that we will be able to produce a simplified version of the plan to be made available online later in 2009. On the CHURCHYARD PLAN each grave is marked with the name and year of the most recent burial therein. Only the first six letters of the surname and the year are given so as to avoid a cramped notation but this is sufficient to identify the entry in the INDEX. Thus the CHURCHYARD PLAN indicates when the grave was last used. The INDEX, and the CHURCHYARD PLAN, are records of interments marked by a gravestone and the entries should match those in the Register of Burials for Bunny and Bradmore.

    Go Green Club 05-02-2019, Tuesday, Civil Engineering. It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. – David Attenborough Sir David Frederick Attenborough was born on 8 May 1926, an English broadcaster and natural historian. He is best known for writing and presenting, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, the 9 natural history documentary series forming the Life collection that together constitute a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth. He is a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s. Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not like the term. In 2002 he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide poll for the BBC. He is the younger brother of the director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough, and older brother of the motor executive John Attenborough. At least 15 species and genera, both living and extinct, have been named in Attenborough's honour. One among them is a new species of fan-throated lizard from coastal Kerala in Southern India was named Sitana attenboroughii in his honour when it was described in 2018. So far He has received more than 40 awards at International level. Student Office Bearers, 2018-19. Mr. Erik Jomy Mathai (S7 ECE), Ms.
