From The Daily Mail-
Thousands of cemeteries across the UK will
be imaged and mapped over the next five years to create a comprehensive
database of British burial sites.
The
Church of England project hopes to immortalise the tombs of millions of
people buried in Anglican graveyards as well as those interred on
unconsecrated land.
Maps and photographs will be uploaded alongside burial records in a searchable database at some point before 2026.
Volunteers from the Church of England have partnered with Historic
England, which has injected £250,000 in funding, and private company
Atlantic Geomatics is providing the technology and expertise.
