Churches

List of historic parishes where initial church investigations or partial/full recording has been carried out (list updated 16th January 2024).  The names shown in red are linked to posts for churches which have been substantially or fully recorded, and includes part of the photographic record. There is a backlog of churches that have been fully recorded, but do not yet have their own posts. 

For ideas on possible interpretation of the various types of graffiti please see the Interpretation page. Please note that if you go to a church to look at the graffiti, towers are generally not accessible to the public for safety reasons.
