Continuing with the results\u00a0of our RTI project with the New Forest Park Authority, where we have completed a number of captures at Emery Down<\/a>\u00a0and Burley<\/a>, Archaeovision spent a day at All Saints Church<\/a>\u00a0in Minstead capturing gravestones, as well as the church’s 12th century font. The church is made famous for being the last resting place\u00a0of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was buried in the cemetery in 1955, but dates its origins to the 13th century. The recording completed by Archaeovision falls under the\u00a0Heritage Lottery funded\u00a0Our Past, Our Future<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>project which\u00a0incorporates\u00a0community based outreach within their\u00a0Rediscovering and Conserving Our Archaeological Heritage<\/a>\u00a0sub-project.<\/p>\n

The results of the RTI survey, as well as the volunteer documentation project will\u00a0provide a snapshot of the graveyard today, and will help define a management plan for the graveyard for the future, whilst identifying monuments that require conservation.\u00a0All the data captured will be made publicly available, allowing residents or visitors to trace family members and their resting places, and local history groups to undertake research to discover more about the area’s past.<\/p>\n

The following RTI examples provide a before and after snapshot of the results collected at Minstead. Unlike our other two RTI recordings, the inscriptions at Minstead are extremely worn and hard to decipher, even with RTI. The text has been digitised for those who may find it hard to identify all of the features, but parts of the inscriptions are missing due to the the deterioration\u00a0of the gravestones<\/p>\n\n\t\t
