Diane, I had a similar experience at Shabbington; and was really disappointed at the state of the gravestones.Peter J.

Unfortunaley, all the old stones are so weathered that they are now illegible.> I have sometimes come across books of transcriptions of gravestones. I once found one in Scotland that was written mant years and contained transcriptions of graves that are no longer in that kirkyard.> I was wondering if anyone knew of something similar for this area of Bucks.> Thank you> Diane _________________________________________________________________ Are you paid what you're worth?
