Graveyard survey

A digital transcript of all memorials in the graveyard and church

The table below provides a complete transcript of monumental inscriptions in the graveyard of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Hethe, recorded up to 2026.

Using the Graveyard Survey

This table is arranged in order of digital grave ref, as used in the View digital plan column.
Follow the links in each row to view related photographs and grave plots on the digital plan page, or to view comparable entries on the manuscript 1917 survey page.
You can also browse the graveyard layout spatially, and link directly to monumental inscription transcripts and photographs, via the digital plan page.
If you want to search by name, the associated graveyard name index links directly to entries in the table of monumental inscriptions on this page.
Click on Table Help below for more information on interpreting column headings and annotations used in the table.

Name Index Plan

Transcribed data:
- Capitalisation: the text of monumental inscriptions is normally capitalised on the memorials themselves, but has been presented here in mixed upper and lower case for easier reading.
- Grave reference: grave references in this table relate primarily to the digital plan, but also cite the Old (20th century) plan and the Barns (2025) plan, where relevant:
  - Digital plan - grave plot references (in the 'View digital plan' and 'View photos' columns) represent the rows on the digital plan, which are labelled A - G and extend from west to east; while the graves in each row are numbered sequentially from north to south.
  - Grave ref (Barns) - these refer to row and grave numbers used by Veronica Barns on her 2025 manuscript plan, where the rows run from south to north. This Graveyard Survey transcript table can be re-sorted by 'Barns' grave reference, to make it easier to consult it alongside her 2025 graveyard plan.
  - Grave ref (Old plan) - the rows on the old (mid-to-late 20th century) plan run from west to east, with graves in each row numbered sequentially. This Graveyard Survey transcript table can be re-sorted by 'Old plan' grave reference, to make it easier to consult it alongside the old graveyard plan. Not all of the graves in this survey are included on the old plan,
- 1917 survey:
  - References and links to digital images from Lewis Chambers' manuscript 1917 survey (updated in 1930), are recorded in the 'View 1917 survey' columns - the 1st column gives the page context, while the 2nd column gives the specific named entry.
  - These references relate to pre-1930 monumental inscriptions only.
  - Entries marked as 'None' chiefly relate to post-1930 inscriptions not covered by this notebook, or to memorials not found by Chambers.
- War Graves:
  - Inscriptions in the graveyard which are official War Graves are noted in the 'Memorial Type' column.
  - For specific individuals, links to Commonwealth War Graves Commission or alternative online records are given in the 'More Info' column, where available.
  - View here the record held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for Holy Trinity Church, Hethe, as a whole.
