Darfield All Saint's Churchyard

I recently discovered that there are two Wombwell soldiers commemorated on graves in All Saint's Churchyard, Darfield . Yesterday, I decided to visit the church and photograph the two headstones, which belong to Francis Micheal Mullins and Albert Greenhow, for my blog. I have now created a page for All Saint's Churchyard and added it to War Graves menu page.

I was able to find the two graves using an excellent leaflet produced by the Friends of Darfield Churchyard. It has information on all the first and second  world war soldiers buried or commemorated within the churchyard. However, I'm only adding the two soldiers remembered on the St. Mary's memorial to this blog. If you're considering making a trip to view the graves, now is a very good time of year to see them, as the overgrowth has been cut back leaving the headstones visible.

On this occasion I was unable to gain access to the church and photograph the WWI memorial within or get in to the church hall where Albert Greenhow also has a commemorative table. I will make a return trip to photograph them at some point in the future. Even so I still had a very productive day. As I not only managed to visit  the churchyard, but I also photographed the Middlewood Shrine and the Cortonwood memorial for their respective blog pages.

A full index of  soldiers commemorated in All Saint's Churchyard can be found on the Barnsley War Memorial Project website.

A list of burials can be found on the CWGC.org website.
