Terry Denham Posted 25 January , 2004 Share Posted 25 January , 2004 Marco I will get the Coleman's Hatch (Sykes) photo as it is only about ten minutes from where I am sitting. I know the grave well. It is a private memorial which is in reasonable condition. The inscription reads.... "Who holds thee now? Death I said; but there the silver answer rang. Not death, but love and life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted 25 January , 2004 Share Posted 25 January , 2004 Hi Marco If no-one else can get you the Wrecsam one, I will do so, but it won't be immediately. Remind me in a few weeks' time! Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 25 January , 2004 Share Posted 25 January , 2004 Marco, I'll go and look for the one at St. Mary's Church, Ingestre. This is the church next door to Ingestre Hall, home of the Earls of Shrewbury. Your soldier was Charles John Alton Chetwynd-Talbot, Viscount Ingestre. Viscount Ingestre is the title held by the Earl of Shrewbury's oldest son. I'm pretty sure he's buried in the big family vault next to the church. I know Ingestre Hall and church very well as it's where I met my wife! I'll go in the next few days. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Invicta Posted 27 January , 2004 Share Posted 27 January , 2004 Marco, I'll get the Norwood one for you. I'm out that way on Sunday. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 3 February , 2004 Share Posted 3 February , 2004 Marco, Sorry for the delay but the weather here in North Wales has been so bad in the last couple of weeks that any photograph taken would have come out badly. Anyway I went to the cemetery after work today and got some pictures for you. I'll post them when I can find the cable that links the camera with the computer!

Andrew Hesketh Posted 9 February , 2004 Share Posted 9 February , 2004 I am afraid that there are no individual graves, just this special memorial. This is a close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
