Burial Grounds NBN Portal

Church Heritage Record

We are partnering with Church Heritage Record (CHR); this online system contains over 16,000 entries on church buildings in England, covering a wide variety of topics from architectural history and archaeology, to the surrounding natural environment. The information contained within has been developed and added to through desk-based research and fieldwork reports, as well as through local initiatives and thematic projects.

CHR also records information about the lives and memories of local people. Church buildings have been the site of some of the most important moments in some people’s lives: their births, marriages, and deaths.

NBN

As part of the Beautiful Burial Ground Project we partnered with the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) to create a Burial Grounds Portal on the NBN Atlas, an online tool that provides a platform to engage, educate and inform people about the natural world. The Burial Grounds portal is an extension of the NBN Atlas entirely devoted to burial grounds. Using the Burial Grounds Portal you can search for specific burial grounds, view burial grounds on a map, and view records. Visit the portal here

The National Biodiversity Network has been championing the sharing of biological data since 2000. They are the UK’s largest partnership for nature, with over 200 members and more than 219 million wildlife records available through the NBN Atlas.
