Brilliant piece of work, Coquet, before all the headstones are lost to the vegetation.
I wonder what the total number of burials in the churchyard are? I would not be surprised if it's a similar scale to the Amble East Cemetery [which was a surprise]; it feels like a similar sized plot.

R. Bolton is commemorated on the plaque inside the Church, I never did find out what happened to him... until now. Another mystery cleared up, thanks Coquet
There are the usual very well preserved set of service papers for him online with the Australian Archives. Looking at them makes me wishthe British papers had survived in better condition. Most unfortunate state of affairs that the bulk are lost forever.
