On Saturday April 28th a group led by Kat Maddison, conducted an Audit of the St. Nicholas' Church Graveyard. Six volunteers worked in pairs, most of the afternoon in perfect weather conditions and were able to record as far as possible, an accurate assessment of the burials. They will be meeting soon to discuss their findings and to build an overall picture before releasing an update to the rest of the group.
