Geoff, as promised me and my wife Kimberley went down to Chichester today and took the pics you needed.......the main cemetery is spot less which is opposite the church which seems to be vandalized..... all services seem to be now run in the chapel on the left of the twin main building in the bigger part of the cemetery......there was only a couple of graves that were kept reasonably tidy in the old church yard as it was very over grown and not very nice....broken and piled up headstones everywhere....we took ages to find Pilot Officer Glaze as he was hidden in the church yard itself and nearly missed it the main cemetery is huge.....

I will check my laptop for the others you are missing and see what I have

Regards Lee

Fantastic Lee,

Thank you for the photo's.

Is the Gardner on long service leave?

 

Hi Lee,

Was the church Portfield (All Saints) ??

 

Yes it was, the Cemetery is directly opposite which is Chichester.......

Gardener wise its the same old story lack of funding by the local council...

 

Any help obtaining the following would be gratefully appreciated.

BOGNOR REGIS CEMETERY
DUNDON, JOHN JOSEPH, Sec. A. R.C. Grave 266.

A picture of Roderick Alistair Brook Learoyd Headstone. Worthing Crematorium, West Sussex, UK.

If he has been cremated as I suspect, a picture of a plaque and or where his ashes were scattered and one of the crematorium please.

I assuming the records office will have the details if the above happened. If not just one of the crematorium please

 

All Complete. Thank you to all those who have given their time and effort to assist me in my project.

Cheers
Paul
