Headstones in the Burial Ground at St Melor's Church Linkinhorne
Below are photographs and details of inscriptions on headstones in St Melor's church ground. I have photographed these at random, choosing clearly incised stones that photograph well. Large copies of any of these photographs are available by e-mailing me. I also have other photographs and records that cannot fit on this site so please contact me, my object is to record all stones prior to about 1920.
There is now an additional burial ground for St Melor's a few yards away. It has memorials from the 1940's.

LOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS - MAY TAKE TIME TO DOWNLOAD

The Cornwall Family History Society have recorded  the inscriptions at the two parish churches, Rilla Mill Methodist Chapel and Lanhargy.
