In the event I was unable to find the grave in question but I burned some film in and around the old village church. In the churchyard I met an elderly couple and asked if they knew the whereabouts of the grave of the Reverend Rawson Briggs (1862-1939) and explained why I was looking for it. Neither of them knew the location but the woman remembered the Reverend as he used to teach her Sunday school class when she was a young girl. Furthermore, she had a photograph of him and agreed to send it to me so that I could scan a copy of it. The shots I took that day can be seen at the link below together with the old photograph c1920 that steals the show. As previously mentioned they were triggered by another camera list and were shot by Olympus OM's. http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Gresham_Norfolk/index.html --Graham
