PaulC78 Posted 7 July , 2022 Share Posted 7 July , 2022 St Hieritha's Church in Chittlehampton, North Devon, which has two war graves in it's churchyard, both from WW1. I swung by here last week whilst on a trip down south, specifically to look for the grave of Herbert Eustace Greenslade who was accepted for commemoration back in 2020. Due to time constraints I wasn't able to have a proper look around the churchyard (also, I couldn't get a wi-fi signal to look things up!), but I was able to take a look inside the church. https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/37496/chittlehampton-st-hieritha-churchyard/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
