Headstones in the Burial Ground at Pensilva (Bodminland)

Below are photographs and details of inscriptions on headstones in the Burial Ground at Pensilva. This ground (which has no associated church) came into use in 1864 and would have been used by many of the followers of the Methodist Chapels. I have photographed monuments at random, choosing clearly incised stones that reproduce well. Large copies of any of these photographs are available by e-mailing me. I have over 600 photographs in my records, so please contact me.
There are no 19th century headstones at the St Ive Methodist Church burial ground.

LOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS - MAY TAKE TIME TO DOWNLOAD

The Cornwall Family History Society have recorded  858 inscriptions in the parish church and 128 at the Methodist Church. The web master can provide photographs of headstones.
