“The Friends of Burngreave Chapel and Cemetery have received Heritage Lottery Fund ‘All Our Stories’ grant money for a one year project called Digging Deep Under the Cemetery.
The money will be used to provide training in research methods for community volunteers to look at the history of the mines which previously occupied the land which the cemetery now occupies and the lives of the community living around the area.
We will be visiting places such as Sheffield Archives, the Local History lIbrary and The National Coal Mining Museum near Wakefield.
A permanent exhibition will be created for the Cemetery Chapel, a power point presentations for local schools and community groups and art works created for the cemetery.
If you would like to be involved in this project which will launch in the new year, please get in touch, through the website http://www.friendsofburngreavecemetery.btck.co.uk or call in at the cemetery chapel any Sunday except Christmas week between 12 noon and 2.00pm, or with Saleema on 07950 299 073”
