Monday 4th March - Friday 15th March (excluding weekends)
10am to 3pm
Meet in the churchyard.
The
memorials in Coddington graveyard, near Newark, are being mapped and
recorded as part of a Local Improvement Scheme project. The survey
involves transcribing the inscriptions on the headstones, photographing
them, and recording their condition. It's a very rewarding thing to do,
as each record sheet forms part of a permanent record, accessible by
future generations. If you want to see some pictures of graveyard
survey underway just follow the link below...
Notts CC Community Archaeology
are looking for people who are interested in coming and helping record
gravestones at Coddington on the above dates. No experience is
necessary. There are toilet facilities nearby, but please bring your
lunch and adequate fluids. Dress appropriately for being outdoors;
keeping in mind that it is fairly stationary work and you are likely to
get a bit chilly around the edges! You might also like to bring a
fold-up stool or chair, or a blanket/kneeling mat for the sake of
comfort.
If you would like to come along please let them know what day or days you would like to come. I need to know who is likely to be coming in case we need to cancel or change arrangements for any reason.
