Glaisdale Old Churchyard Monument Inscriptions The attached listings and accompanying map of the old churchyard have been based on monument transcriptions initially compiled by the Cleveland History Society, to which many thanks are given. As no existing map of the churchyard could be found, this has been remapped in sketch format. It is not strictly accurate but it is hoped that it is sufficient for any interested persons to find any monument. The churchyard has been split into colour-coded sections in a fairly abitrary manner in the hope that this will also help any search. This is a draft version as the inscriptions still have to be verified by inspection. This has been done so far for sections N, S, SW. ©Glaisdale PCC May be copied and used for personal research purposes but may not be onsold. Donations to the church welcomed.
