KENSINGTON, CLAYTON CHURCH

 

This is a small graveyard beside the Clayton Uniting Church at Kensington.  The former Congregational Church is located on the corner of The Parade and Portrush Road, Kensington.  In mid-2012 several gravestones were retrieved after they had been relocated to a neighbouring house in the 1970s, and used to floor a chicken shed.  These graves were broken but enough of the inscription was readable to identify to whom they related, using the death indices.

This new transcription has been checked against the death indices and corrected where necessary and additional information inserted in square brackets.
