Church Photos
I am working through an eleven year backlog of photos (currently up to 2009), trying to add some every night.
Cemetery Photos other sites that do that better page . If there only a small number of headstones, I'll try to take photos of all of them but otherwise it's just whatever catches my attention. I was including transcriptions in the posts, but I found it was taking too much time (hours for each post) and I'd rather put that time into putting up church photos.
(Although I'm happy to include transcription that might be useful or of interest to someone else. I just don't want to spend hours doing it for no purpose. So if you're interested in what a particular stone or two says, ask and I'll see if I can read it on the larger original. Although note the comment about comments above. The spam filters have sharp teeth.)

January 5, 2018 at 5:19pmI am trying to locate the grave of William Atkinson Gardner who died in Newnham in 1855. A newspaper report at the time stated that his funeral would be held at St John’s Church, after which he would be taken for burial at the English burial ground. If anyone can tell me the location of this, and if there are records of the graves, I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

There are no intact graves. I’ve put what I know about records in a comment at the bottom. Hope that is some help.
