Graveyard Histories Menu
This menu will provide access to our research into the family history of those names that appear on the gravestones in Dore graveyard.
This is an on–going research project which has its roots in Christ Church asking people to 'Adopt a Grave'. In return for their help the Dore Archive Research Team (DART) provide the volunteers with some information about those buried in the grave they are looking after. DART often expands on the original findings and feel this may be of interest to family historians.
