For those of you who do not already know, this on line source has now lapsed. It used to be accessible at www.memorialinscriptions.org.uk, hosted by the de Montford University and directed by a Dr Richard Smart. I thought the university would have retained the valuable database but apparently not! I have just been told by their archivist that the data base is defunct and they do not even have hard copies. Incredible for a learned institution? However, all is not lost. With the help of the Wayback Machine I found this statement from the website in January 2011. As from the end of January 2011 this site will be closed. If you are interested in memorial inscriptions from Norfolk, please go to the website of Norfolk Family History Society http://www.norfolkfhs.org.uk/ If you are interested in memorial from Bedfordshire, please go to the website of Bedfordshire Family History Society http://www.bfhs.org.uk/ We have enjoyed helping family historians from all over the world and hope that they have found NAOMI a useful source over the last five years. To put this into perspective, a snapshot of the site front page in December 2010 claimed to have 193,286 names from 657 burial grounds in Norfolk and Bedfordshire Barry Hepburn
