Chapel Burials

Orginally published Jul 2021
Last updated Aug 2021

Liz James, daughter of Michael Hebditch, Chapel Secretary and Organist for many years, completed the formidable task of transcribing many of the historical documents relating to the church into digital form. The Winsham Web Museum is very grateful to the Chapel for allowing these archives to be reproduced.

The burial records that have been digitalised are from 1860-1926.
