Jones family - Appleby church

[Chris Jones]

Just a quick note that say thank you to all who look after the church at Appleby Magna - my family left the village ( for Tamworth initially) in the 1840s but every a group of us from all over the country - including N Ireland - visit the church in early august to visit a Jones grave in the churchyard and visit the church. Sadly this year the leading historian in the family Michael Jones of Henley - who has in the past corresponded with some Appleby residents- passed away suddenley before our annual visit. However the research goes on into the Jones and Grimley ancestors in the village. Thanks again to all who tend the church and maintain it and make us so welcome.
