Work on the site started on the site earlier in the year at the bottom of the cemetery to remove brambles and undergrowth. As we go inscriptions on the monuments are being recorded. The records for this cemetery were lost some time ago, so where we find a grave without a headstone this too is being recorded. Later on a plot number will be given. The work will take a long time to complete but thanks to our team of local volunteers we will endeavour to do what we can. Our enormous thanks to Ann Blackburn at Prudhoe Library and local volunteer Ray Moore for their invaluable support.​

Photographs of the work and each grave are being taken in readiness for an exhibition at Prudhoe Library. We will add these to our webpage after the exhibition.

We have had 86 enquiries at the site and a local school are planning a site visit as soon as the site is safe. We have been inundated with requests for photographs by local residents. Society member, Brian Thompson, has been able to take some photographs for us which we hope to use in our exhibition.

The cemetery team are also working with Land of Oak and Iron and County Open Spaces Officer at Northumberland County Council to keep them updated on progress.
