Memorials … And Other Grave Matters by Rev Brian Carne, Friends of Lydiard Tregoz Report No. 12 published May 19, 1979. Correction to Report: In the report Brian has misread the register and says that Noah died in 1831. Noah died 22 August 1851 and is definitely in the burial registers and is therefore buried in the churchyard.
