Will try and get over this Summer for a look, another big monumental inscription-transcription for me maybe. did you notice any old gravestones - anything pre 1700? (I got this thing about the oldies now ) Mike |

Here's a question for you Pete what was Felton Park used for?? was there a ww2 camp there or something - (I'm completely ignorant of felton history)
there are ground marks from huts or buildings visible on google maps: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...05659&t=h&z=18 |

Apart from studying the parish records and having a nose around the churchyard, i'm not so familiar with felton history myself Mike. (another project on the backburner)
I seem to recall that felton park had a catholic chapel belonging to the local bigwigs at a time when catholisism was discouraged. Regarding the churchyard, there are some stones from 1750's, most are in poor order. A transcription would be good to have (there may be one in book form at woodhorn pit) Anyway i had a drive over to felton to take a photo of the church as the board had no threads and managed to knock down a fencepost with the van. I had the vicar on the phone this morning to arrange a time to repair it. I'll see if i can get him on the site, he will have some info no doubt. Pete |
