The links below include several to pictures from St Margaret's, Wolstanton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, with which we started our present work, and suggested entries for Latin memorials are also given. In other cases only the text and translation are provided, without any accompanying illustration of the memorial concerned, but several on which we have recently worked, such as Ashley, Broughton and Swynnerton, include text and pictures as examples of work in progress. Having undertaken work to prepare that part of the project relating to the modern Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme for publication, in Summer 2008 we moved to investigate remaining sites within the City Boundaries of Stoke-on-Trent.
Those wishing further information or to include memorials from their own church in the project are invited to contact the Branch . The current working list, for the North West of the County, appears below, including those to be attended to next.
