Burton-in-Lonsdale Churchyard Surveying training, image enhancing and helping genealogists |
|
This project was carried out during 2016 and finalised in early 2017. Its content concerns the 'Very Old and Separate Churchyard' at All Saints Church, Burton-in-Lonsdale. | ||
Ian
Thompson, an IAG member who is also on the Burton-in-Lonsdale
Parish Council, proposed a project to map the positions of the graves within the graveyard,
along with
the details of those buried there. This information would then be
offered to genealogists and to the general public. To accurately map the positions of the graves, a survey was needed. IAG took the opportunity of using the survey of the graveyard as a training project for its members. Jeff Price led a small group of trainees through the process of setting up the Total Station and its associated tools to carry out an accurate survey. |
