The graveyard surrounds the church on 3 sides. To make it easier to record the large area involved we divided the graveyard into several sections: North-west, North-east, South-west, South, South- east, and New. We started on the north side of the church and worked from the Lych gate, towards the east. Each grave or obvious sign of a burial was given a number. We used letters for Cremations. When we began the process of recording, we only included the names and dates, but then we realised other information on the gravestone was also very interesting and useful for family historians. So we decided to record everything that we could read on each grave. We also listed all the Monumental Inscriptions inside the Church, giving them numbers with the prefix letter C. Then there followed a lengthy process of checking and referring to other lists already compiled. To help visitors, to the graveyard, to locate a particular grave, we also produced an overall plan of the graveyard, showing how it was divided into sections. Each section then had a detailed plan with numbers and names shown. Elizabeth Burdon Jean Duggan February, 2005 Last updated 20th November, 2010 4 North - West Section 1.

Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray, Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that I once had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. Christina Rossetti The county of Devon was unusual, but not unique, in that not a single village survived the Great War without loss. Denbury deaths as a percentage of its population were amongst the highest in the land.

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

    A Neighbourhood Plan for Ogwell 2016 to 2033 Submission issue February 2016 February 2016 2 Dear Parishioner, Thank you for your time and contribution in preparing the Ogwell Neighbourhood Plan. This plan will shape the future of the area we live in and I am proud that our Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, with a great deal of community support and engagement has progressed our plan to this submission stage. The creation of this Neighbourhood Plan has been led by members of our community and is part of the Government’s revised approach to planning, which aims to give local people more say about what happens in their area. Communities like ours have been granted this new power through the Localism Act of 2011. Ultimately we decide whether or not to adopt this Neighbourhood Plan through a local referendum. Fundamentally this plan has a sustainability focus not a development focus, building upon the Parish Plan, seeking to preserve and enhance transport links, the natural environment and community facilities. It is driven by the natural qualities of the area. We make no apology for a ‘Green’ plan. This best reflects this community’s wishes, from the meetings and consultations undertaken over the past 3 years. The Plan’s focus is to sustain the natural qualities of the Parish and conserve them for future generations to enjoy, by adopting safeguards to prevent ad hoc development, and to ensure that the Parish is able to provide new facilities to serve recent development. The policies within the Neighbourhood Plan have been drafted following considerable interaction and consultation with residents.

    Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on January 17, 2016 400 PICOCF.I.II,ING.~ OF THE GEOLOGICALSOCIETY. [April 22, striking points is the very small proportion of the numerous forms of variegation that can be accounted for by the mere altered state of combination of the iron in situ. The occasional conversion of the red anhydrous sesquioxide, or the lower hydrates, into fully hydrous sesquioxide, the reduction of sesquioxide to protoxide of iron in the production of green slates, and the exceptional cases of the alteration of colour of red beds by the decomposition of bisulphide of iron complete the list of eolour- alterations by simple chemical change. Even the agency of organic matter in inducing chemical changes in the state of combination of the iron, will not in most cases "lccount for the bleaching--the segregational motion of the colour- ing oxide, which is the ultimate cause of the variegation, being supplemental to the simple chemical changes of combination. The great majority of cases of variegation are independent of altered combinations, and more often than otherwise seem to have been induced by agencies not directly connected with chemical change. The transference of the colouring oxide from one part of the stratum to another has taken place by the simple mechanical agencies of infiltration and dissolution, as well as by segregation ; but the latter, above all other agencies, has played the largest part in the variegation of ferruginous rocks. 2.
