The language of death in a bilingual community: nineteenth-century memorials in Newport, Pembrokeshire

The memorials have been recorded on standardised forms, photographed and marked on a measured plan. The data has been coded and placed on computer. The Newport graveyard was one of twelve Anglican graveyards and twelve Nonconformist burial grounds recorded in northern and central Pembrokeshire. In addition, particular sites were recorded to amplifY datasets and provide particular comparisons. These included St David's cathedral as a major regional ecclesiastical centre, and St Dogmaels, another maritime community to compare with Newport (My tum 1990).
