ST. JOHN THE DIVINE

Burnley Road

Holme Chapel

Cliviger

 

We include this church because Cliviger is the neighbouring town to Todmorden, on the way to Burnley. Many folk flitted between the two and just maybe your ancestor is buried there.

We have included just a few memorial inscriptions of people we know to have Todmorden connections, and may well be adding some more in the future.
