Booklets
Over the years Project Purley has compiled a number of booklets which recorded research that had been undertaken. Most of them can be made available for download as a PDF

We start with a set of booklets (not quite complete as yet) which record monumental inscriptions in Purley, some alas have now disappeared. They are concentrated at St Mary's Church and at Goosecroft but there are others about.This section of the site provides a home for a series of documents currently in development covering:-

Part 1 - Introduction

Part 2 - Inscriptions in the old St Mary's graveyard

Part 3 - Inscriptions in the new St Mary's graveyard

Part 4 - Attached inscriptions at St Mary's

Part 5 - Cremation memorials at St Mary's

Part 6 - Burials and Cremations at Goosecroft cemetery

Part 7 - Inscriptions at the Memorial Hall and elsewhere

Part 8 - Burials and Cremations registers

Part 9 - Indexes

Next a set of booklets recording other research by reproducing either the text of historic documents or a summary taken from an official records:-
