Gartell Signalling
David Hibberd
​Hi Keith,
Visited the Gartell Light Railway last Saturday for a Railwayana auction. Being a signalling fan the gantries at the railway are really superb.
Photo of box taken from outside through window.  Hope of interest,
best regards,  Dave Hibberd

Many thanks David.

George Jackson Churchward 
Info from Alan Harris
Hello Keith,Following the query about George Jackson Churchward's burial place, I looked at Christ Church, Swindon burial database on line and came up with the following:-
Additional details: Record number: 4770
Name: GEORGE JACKSON CHURCHWARD
Date of death / (age):/ ()
Date of burial:  22/12/1933
Grave reference number:  S /0067D-
Book number: 02/17/00168    4770
I think this might settle the matter, so it appears that at Stoke Gabriel that the headstone is a memorial only. Kind Regards  Alan

That settles it Alan, many thanks for your time and trouble
