Gravestone Recording

Of the 55 gravestones on the Chapel Stores' site, some are already very eroded and are only partially readable. 

Thanks to players of the National Lottery we were awarded funding to produce a digital record of the gravestones and their inscriptions before they are eroded any further.

​

In preparation for recording, the gravestones were cleared of the masses of brambles and ivy and cleaned by teams of volunteers  following War Memorial Trust guidelines. This revealed some text that was not previously visible.

We commission Archaeovision to capture each gravestone using reflectance transformation imaging to reveal the full inscriptions and photogrammetry has been used to produce 3D models. Click on the names below to see the results.
