A small group of volunteers have undertaken the task of befriending Wednesfield Burial Ground, documenting the remaining stones and unearthing the rich history of the site.

Wednesfield History Society Research Team
Marie Sewell is being supported by four members of Wednesfield History Society:-  Gary Edwards, Sue Edwards, Hazel Keirle & Jackie Harrison. The support includes researching old maps, old newspapers, Wills and various other old documents. Genealogical investigation is being carried out—as far as the sources allow—on some of the burial ground’s ‘residents’ who were people of some substance in Wednesfield’s past.

Mike Rowledge
Known as ‘Wulfrunian’ on Find A Grave, Mike has significantly enhanced the historical record of Wednesfield New Burial Ground.

With contributions from collaborator Rob Dickens, Mike’s work is now an invaluable resource for anyone researching Wednesfield history. Read more…
