Dear Alan, I am sure your remark was tongue in cheek? I totally agree with Wendy's comments. I was the co-ordinator for Monumental transcriptions in Oxfordshire for OFHS and I can tell you that if you have ever lain facedown on the ground transcribing that information below the soil level by digging out carefully with a trowel, which is often what we do in all sorts of weather, then think of how many hours are put into a whole graveyard. I have seen a stone fall when being transcribed luckily just missing the transcriber. Six pounds! Cheap at the price. These CDs are worth every penny of the OFHS's amazing £6.00. Many societies charge more. My best wishes, Jill http://gravematters.org.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Wendy Archer Sent: 17 December 2011 17:28 To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] Bloxham - OFHS photographic CD of its MonumentalInscriptions Alan - At £6 each including VAT & postage, they're already a bargain when you consider the Bloxham team was on bended knee one day a week all summer, fighting off the brambles & the nettles ... But Hugh who sends them out might well manage a piece of festive ribbon with the CDs!! There's a picture of one of the stones from the 1600s, together with its inscription, on the Oxfordshire Family History Society's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/oxfordshirefhs.
