Caring For God’s Acre, the conservation charity for burial grounds across the UK, is a group that MWN interacts with regularly as we try to find ways to collaborate in Molescroft Parish.
Churches have substantial land holdings, including graveyards, and MWN is working with multiple partners to help improve biodiversity in St Mary’s Graveyard. However these sites need to be treated with a great deal and care and consideration for those that are buried there, and those that visit. Mapping these sites therefore serves multiple purposes.
Join Caring for God’s Acre as they explore the importance of mapping these burial grounds in a webinar presented by Tim Viney from Atlantic Geomatics who will provide an overview of the Church of England National Burial Grounds Survey project and will discuss why we need good maps of burial grounds, how they are created and integrated with records, and how they are updated.
