The Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery are very pleased to announce a new addition to our ‘Interpretation Board’ collection. Located near the Sandyford Road entrance to Jesmond Old Cemetery, adjacent to the West Mound, our new board gives details of the Serviceman commemorated on family graves. The map identifies the location of the graves we have found, along with their name, Regiment, date of death and their age when they died.

We have had lovely support and guidance from our friends in Bereavement Services and we must send special thanks to Joseph Richmond & Sons Memorials and the TSG Foundation for their kind donations towards the overall cost of the board. The new board was provided by our old friends from Border Signs & Graphics, who did such a fantastic job with our first collection of interpretation boards.

The project has been led by one of our Friends, Pauline Martin, and she has been instrumental in locating the graves, researching the person behind the commemoration and designing the board. Read about those she has identified here.
