Introduction
This collection comprises the Digital Archive (a database, images and site plans) from a survey of All Saints Churchyard undertaken by Merseyside Archaeological Society between 2009 and 2021.
In April 2009, the Department of Continuing Education at Liverpool University, in conjunction with Merseyside Archaeological Society, ran a course on the techniques involved in surveying graveyards. The course was based at All Saints Church, Childwall and was attended by about a dozen people. The course and the venue proved so interesting that the Society started a project to record the whole of the churchyard. This involved plotting every grave onto a plan, photographing every monument and recording the detail of approximately 2500 gravestones and memorials dating from the early 17th century to the present day. Information from 838 monuments recorded from the historic core of the churchyard can be found here. The remainder of the survey will be complete by the end of 2021.
