Register of Burials 1924-1973
We have scanned in the Register of Burials between 1924 and 1973. Alas, it isn’t searchable and is not a thing of great beauty as the pages are bigger than Davids scanner when he did it.

One of those remembered is Tom Gradidge. You can read more about him below.
Gradidge Family
Tom Gradidge is commemorated on the Longparish War Memorial. He served in the First World War as a private with the 15th (Hampshire Yeomanry) Battalion of the Hampshire Regiment.
He was killed on 26 October 1918 when his regiment were defending the train station at Vichte in Belgium and is buried at the Military Cemetery there.
His Daughter-in-law, Nora Gradidge (a lively 89 3⁄4 years of age), and her daughter and son-in-law Barbara and Jim Allen visited the War Memorial to pay their respects on Remembrance Day 2009.
Norah’s mother was born in South Africa where her father served with the King’s African Rifles and fought at the Battle of Majuba in 1881 in the Boer War. She was brought up at Winchester Barracks. Norah’s husband, also Tom, was evacuated from Dunkirk.
The Pillans plot
Following an enquiry about the plot where Mr James Mowbray and Mrs Edith Mary Pillans were buried, the CttBB captured the following pictures of the plot and produced a schematic highlighting it.
