Hi Pat, I'm seriously impressed with the trusty compass. I don't live in Thanet any more, but in Connecticut. I volunteer at the local FHL and am curator and archivist at our local Historical Society. We get queries from all over the US and often involves cemetery trips. There are no indications of where the grave is, just a list from the 30's of someone going around row by row recording the headstones, so that's some help. But it's a lot of fun and keeps me off the streets :-)) Elizabeth On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 3:40 PM, PJK:o)) <patinkent@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Elizabeth, > > Yes, I know - I went with my trusty compass just to make sure I was > pointing > in the right direction !! :o)) The churchyard isn't very big, but I have a > feeling that he may be inside the church, especially as he's a member of > the > Pugin family. > > Pat.xxx :o)) > A Maid of Kent. > > > > Hi Pat, > > If it's any help the CWGC says the grave is located "Near West > Boundary.". > > I've never been in that cemetery so I have no idea how big it is so don't > > know if this is of help or not. > > > > best wishes > > > > Elizabeth > > > > On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 9:34 AM, PJK :o)) <patinkent@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > > > >> The churchyard was open on Saturday morning - my husband & I wandered > >> past > >> on the off chance & found it unlocked, but unfortunately, we were unable > >> to > >> locate the grave.
