I had the same problem with old family plots in Dover. M in L swore it was on the high part but we couldn't find the family area.

I emailed the local council - just in case & they send me a very details map & offered to come with me to locate if I gave them at least a weeks notice.

Trouble is M in L is now 92 & cant walk that far - esp up hill neither can Auntie - I may contact them when we are on holiday - just to get a photo for them.

In short why not email or speak with the local council office who look after the church yard.

Tabitha, just to say that the council have absolutely no say in what happens in a churchyard - it comes under the jurisdiction of the church authorities. :-)


David, the only way to find out if there are others in the grave is to ask permission to have the grave 'probed' by a gravedigger. They are experts at doing that.
