Lychgate at Downton ~ St Laurence Church

Along with my daughter and brother I have been tracing our ancestry on my mother's side of the family, which took us unexpectedly to Downton, Wiltshire. We wanted to make sure we were following the correct line so went grave hunting! We were very lucky to find a corner of the churchyard devoted to 'Gwyer' graves dating back to the late 1700's and they did indeed fit with what we had found out.
