Work commenced on 18th. April 2005
Informal Opening: Saturday 12th. November 2005
The first task was to remove and re-bury (or re-site) the graves of those affected by the alterations in the area of construction. This entailed the attendance of archaeologists and undertakers. This work was completed in accordance with the wishes of the surviving relatives by the 26th. April. Those re-buried under the site are commemorated by a special plaque (See below) . Existing stones have been been re-sited to appropriate new positions in the Churchyard.
The magnificent progress over the summer months and the opening ceremony is recorded in the pictures below.
