Paucity of Cemeteries and Tombstones - UK

Question

Intrigued by the limited number of UK cemetries shown, presumably limited to those chosen by WTers, and for those few, the minimal number of deceased shown against individual locations.  One would obviously check to see if family members had been commemorated in a relevant location - I found none in the current sites. During my own research into the Phillips/Harding/Davies/Rees members of my family from St Brides Wentlooge, Newport, Monmouthshire, I took pictures of a few potential family member's tombstones - unfortunately that churchyard is Church of Wales, and the families were "chapel" so  not interred there but in local Chapels - graveyards that often have suffered the transition to private housing and removal/re-use of slabs and stones.  Happy to pass on those few images if of interest to any WTers with local links to St Bride's Wentlooge.

Answer 1

While visiting several cemeteries in England, Ireland and Scotland, last year I came to the conclusion that whatever stone is often used for headstones must be quite soft because even on 'recent headstones' in the past 20 years, the inscription has deteriorated significantly and cannot be read.

Or perhaps the engraving method is to blame.
