Martin Nicholson's Cemetery Project

St Bridget, Bridstow, Herefordshire

The parish church, dedicated to St Bridget, has a tower in the Perpendicular style but rest of the exterior was re-built in 1862 to a design by Thomas Nicholson. The stained glass is by Charles Kempe.

The Royal Hospital was founded in 1682 by King Charles II as a home for soldiers who were unfit for further duty because of injury or old age.

A father and son remembered on the same war grave.

Gabriel Link was born on Christmas Day.

It is unlikely that "Pricclla" was what the mason was supposed to engrave. "Priscilla" was probably what was intended.

Claire Christine Nicholson and Martin Piers Nicholson - Ticklerton (Shropshire) and Daventry (Northhamptonshire), United Kingdom.
