The churchyards & cemeteries of Urmston, Flixton & Davyhulme
Billington, Michael, 1953-2025
Book
The townships of Urmston, Flixton and Davyhulme have a rich and diverse historical heritage. This richness and diversity is reflected in how the townships honour their dead from the burial grounds themselves to the cenotaphs and stained glass windows, and plaques in the churches. This book looks at not only the grand statement tombs of the wealthy but also the final resting places of vicars, churchwardens, sextons, choirmasters, church organists, journalists, actors, teachers, pub landlords, architects, policemen, servants and paupers. The book's chapters examine the history of the area's four burial grounds - St Michael's Churchyard, Flixton, Urmston Cemetery, St Catherine's Churchyard, Barton-upon-Irwell, The Jewish Cemetery, Urmston.
