ROOKSBRIDGE BAPTIST CHAPEL 

RECORD OF KNOWN BURIALS

To the rear of the baptist Chapel is a small graveyard. This has been respectfully  turned into a garden of rest by the present owner. From the inscriptions on those gravestones which were able to be recovered and preserved, it appears that burials took place here from 1878 until 1955.
A list of the known burials is reproduced below.

Any further information regarding burials and people connected with the Baptist Chapel  will be greatly appreciated and can be posted on the website.
