Burials
During August 2012 I took photographs of nearly all the graves in the cemetery with a view to submitting them to this site which - rightly - takes the view that this precious resource has a finite life as headstones are so easily damaged. I have also uploaded details of each burial to Find a Grave.
I have also used the CD of Eastrea and Coates Burials (which can be obtained from Cambridgeshire & Huntingdonshire Family History Society) to count the number of burials each year. The results of this can be seen below.

A selection of photographs taken on 3rd April 2014 of the church yard. I was particularly lucky to find the magnolia trees in bloom (a lady told me that's what they are) although the petals had started to fall or be blown off.
