WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Hi there all our wonderful history buffs we have a task for you. We are trying to assist the council’s cemetery committee with information about the Gegedzerick cemetery stone walls. If you have info or photos of the walls over the years this is your chance to be part of the project to ensure their heritage value and help with the preservation of this amazing stone structure in what is a very special cemetery in our region. We are also looking for information on the heritage value of the hawthorn hedges at the cemetery and who may have planted them. We know our wonderful followers are the OG brains trust so we are hoping you can all spread the word and help us out with this very important project. Many thanks in advance and don’t forget our wonderful book collections for sale
