| I was pleased to see the church yard was cleaned up.It states the churchyard ceased to be a cemetery in 1903.I attended Grange School from 1954 till 1961 and during that time there was at least one burial in the yard.It was likely a family grave I assume.The gravestone that stood out for us all was that of a girl aged 2 who died in 1868,her parents are buried there too.Her name was Charlotte Amelia...the inscription included this verse: Do not weep my parents dear For I am not dead but sleeping here Though short was my life The longer be my rest God called me first Because He loved me best I wonder if students still pass by and read that verse? Would value any othercomments! |
