CRICH PARISH

which consists of the villages of Crich, Fritchley and Whatstandwell.

Burial Plots A1 – A57

Plots A1 to A16 are near the main road side

A16 to A57 are all in the path from the porch to the gate and others are buried under the turf and may have names and dates on them

NB The inscription recorded may not be the complete version. Also the term "In memory of" can infer that the named are not interred there. Some headstones have more names than can possibly be buried in that plot.

Photographing these memorial stones is an ongoing project with regular updates from July 2013.

Acknowledgement: with grateful thanks to the many volunteers of www.findagrave.com who have allowed me to include some of their Crich records into this collection.
