St Laurence Church, Measham, Derbyshire / Leicestershire

[Tom Tom]

Hello everyone,

I have recently found that a few members of my "German" family were buried in St Laurence churchyard Measham.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone was able to look for graves and get photos for me.

Would also love a photo of Measham Lodge as this is where the family lived at one point.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Thanks Mike,

I was ideally looking for someone who could go and get photos of the graves for me, but there are some good photos on there of the windows.

You've put Derbys/Leic in your title, take it it's on the border. If you look in the wiki jojo is offering to do cemetery look ups in Leics, so you might come within her area.

Hi Tom.
Checking out your request woudn't be a problem if there were graves there, it seems the graveyard was cleared of all the stones some many years ago, what a shame as I only live 10mins away and would have popped up there with my cam.
If you go into Google maps and track it down you will see just lawns now, check this link out

So I guess that might be it, does any authority hold any grave records though. I noticed a council office along the high street the other day which I believe might have been in the past a museum, I will check it out next time I am passing.
Do you have any more info that might help...dates or names.

Take care
Tony
