NEVILLE HURWORTH's WEB SITE
currently dedicated to items of local history in North East Leeds.
I hope to use this site to pass on some local information about the history of North East Leeds, especially Roundhay and Chapel Allerton.
The Monumental inscriptions in local Church graveyards are a good starting point. These places contain the remains of many former citizens of the surrounding townships and are increasingly of interest to family andlocal historians alike.
The recording of Monumental Inscriptions (MIs), which often contain much unique information, is a worthwhile task. With the passing of time, information from this valuable source is being lost as the gravestones erode away or become otherwise damaged, maybe deliberately so, by vandals.
Monumental Inscriptions in Chapel Allerton Cemetery, Leeds.
I have given the graves identification codes, consisting of a letter and a number.
Graves with codes beginning with an "A" are in the topmost part of the Cemetery. The Harrogate Road entrance is via a War Memorial and some steps. These graves are on the left side of the path on passing through the Cemetery using this entrance.
Graves with codes beginning with a "D" are situated in the (bottom) NE corner of the Cemetery bounded by Town Street and Church Lane. Some of the more recent burials here are in the ground once occupied by the old St. Matthew's Church and the rest are nearby. As you follow the way through the Cemetery from the Town Street entrance down to Church Lane, thegraves recorded here are on your left.
The inscriptions recorded here are only a small fraction of the inscriptions in the Cemetery.
