Gravestones Project
In 2014 and 2015, with funding from Thornbury Parish Council and the Torridge Town and Parish Fund, a group of volunteers recorded and photographed all of the graveyard and other inscriptions in Thornbury Church, Woodacott Chapel, and the War Memorial. The results of this project were recorded as a set of hardback albums for the Hamlets, a DVD containing all of the material, which is reproduced here.

We are keen to make contact with anyone who has family connections with the Hamlets, and whose ancestors may be buried in the graveyards. Please contact tatler@thornburyhamlets.com if you would like a high resolution copy of any of the images, or if you would like to purchase a copy of the DVD for £5 (plus P&P at cost), containing all of the material, including a full set of the high resolution images.
