141
Large headstone broken in 3 places with no visible markings; The stone pieces lie against the trunk of the large yew tree. This is a grass area mostly under the shade of a large Cedar Tree and Laurel Bushes with no visible evidence of Graves with remains of a grave/Graves Ref. 141 leaning against the trunk of the Cedar Tree Remains of Grave/Graves with no visible markings and presumably not in their original location. At the time of this note I have not been able to move the grave stone/s. This may be possible after tree surgery which is to take place in 2004.
145
The remaining area comprises uneven grass, rose bed as marked and Millennium Oak planted January 2003. In view of the location of the graves 138-145 being close to the church it is probable that other graves may exist but no records found to substantiate
149
Possible Grave; grass area no visible markings
154
Low wrought Iron railings around a grass area sufficient for 3 or 4 graves; no visible markings
157
A large number of Headstones and Foot Stones removed in the 1970’s from this area of the graveyard apparently without entering in the LOG BOOK and no record found of a Faculty. The original area they were removed from is shown on the map under ref. 158. This information was provided by the current Church Warden A W [Tony] Knight and is not claimed to be exact.[2004] Identification of markings on Headstones and Foot Stones that were moved is also being made as and the Burial Register marked up as part of this record where possible. They are stacked against an agricultural barn on the boundary of the graveyard. It is reasonable to assume that those persons recorded in the Burial Register whose graves have not been identified are buried in this and other areas of the graveyard where no Headstone/Foot Stone or visible inscription exists
158
A grass area previously of graves. Foot and Headstones except those shown on the Map have been removed, see 157above. The area could extend to the area of Graves 148-155. Presumably Grave 156 was left because it is a Tomb Grave

Grave 168A was thought to have been a Foot Stone to grave 163 but is now clear that it is a very old grave in natural stone with skull and cross bones engravings at the top. The grave is covered in Lichen and when part cleaned no identifiable markings can be made. The headstone, of similar stone has markings F.C.
169
Stone Headstone; with engraved skull and cross bones no other visible markings
178
Near to the graves of Paxman Numbers 177/178 situated towards the current wild flower area lies the remains of an unnamed person not from this village who committed suicide and was buried near to the boundary hedge.[source Queenie 2004.] It is believed that the grave is that of a Josiah Nice; see note under row 11. For other members of the Nice family. [source; Church Warden Sue Ireland 2004] In this area are the unmarked graves of paupers and it is believed the grave of Isme Czikkely a stranger who was found dead under a straw stack in Water Lane by David Felton a young agricultural worker. The body had been there for some time. David is The father of Mark Felton currently living in Evergreen Lane.[source Cyril Potter].
