Ward Monumental Inscriptions

 

Monumental Inscriptions from the following graveyards -

Park Independent Church - Rowland's Methodist Church - Rowland's Old Graveyard

 

Welcome to this page of our Ward family Website.

Here I have listed the 94 Headstone Inscriptions that I have transcribed, from the old graveyard at Rowland's Methodist Church at Summerseat, near Bury in Lancashire.

This graveyard has now been closed for many years, and you can read more about this graveyard, and see photos of the 94 headstones on the Summerseat Site.

There are many graves in this graveyard, but due to the condition of the graveyard,

it was only possible to get the 94 photos.

I do hope that you find this page useful, and also that it helps you with your family research.
