Two cemeteries full in London

[Terpe]

A relative of mine was buried in a Church cemetery on the IOW, on 12 Sep 1940,
in 1965 the church asked permission to remove the headstone to make a garden area,
Someone said yes (I would not have)

within 5 years it was tarmac ked over as a car park, and the headstone "lost"

Mick.

What a terrible thing to have happened Mick.
It's a disgrace......didn't anyone inform you about the plans ?
I'd have been very upset and angry.

Hi Peter, it was an uncle of mine who gave permission, it was his
grandmother, my G Grandmother, I only found out when I became into family history and went looking for the grave, they first told me the headstones were kept but when I and a church warden looked for then nothing there.

A local solicitors family did refuse permission and their 2 graves are still there.

Like most things too late once its done.
