Previous survey gives John CAVE as: ? 1736.(<-apparently from M.I.) {b 1695 d ?1756 Cave History}

1997: Line 5: Age is 2 figures. first is two points one above the other with ) to right and between them. Second figue is ) longer and lower than two previous. Best guess perhaps 29.

1997: Line 10: Last number only represented by \ stroke =8.

1997: Line 11: Age hard to read. My best guess on site was 79 - previously given as ?73. Hard to read. 7 represented by horizontal with 2 points below: bottom one consistent with down stroke of 7, other may be erosion hole. Second number represented by point with ) below it and another dot lower still and to the left of it. 73 or 79 now seem equally likely. 73 taken.

1997: Line 2: First two words now very conjectural.

1997: Lines 4 onwards: are very difficult to read - on first viewing they were thought not present at all.

1997: Line 6: date might start with J, marks that follow certainly suggest July. Day might be 5, or may be 9 or 3. year 1808 readable, but only if know what it is

1997: Line 7: Age: first number 6 is pretty certain, other number looks like right hand side of 3, hence best guess =63 (which is confirmed by register).

1997: Line 4: very difficult to read

1997: Line 6: date previously recorded 13th. Definitely no th., marks are the same as the two 8s at end of line, therefore day =8.

1997: Lines 7 to 8: there is a small gap.

1997: Line 8: Charles previously questioned, but not doubtful.

1997: Line 9: very difficult to read - only traves remain of some letters

1997: Line 10: Day strong horizontal, so 7 assumed, but could well be 3 as there is a ) below and to right. Year starts 17, third number () 4th number point with ) below it. Hence perhaps 1795 (=Register).

1997: Line 6: letters marked -- no longer visible.

1997: Line 7: Text previously identified as "daughter of" seems doubtful in view of amount of space available unless daughter was actually abbreviated. 2001: re-examined - unclear - the first three letters of dau are very clear, but then there is just possibly an r, but then a fairly wide apparently uncarved space before "of". There is no realistic possibility of the full word daughter, unless the "of" has been misinterpreted and that is the "er" at the end of daughter, which does not seem likely. Letters "Jo" "&" "M" "C" seem certain, while "ave" is not easy. Line probably reads "dau of John & Mary Cave".

1997: Last line: number is '), probably 5 (confirmed by registers)

1997: inscription readily reconstructable in spite of much being missing

The Simmonds Graves are a very interesting feature of the churchyard of St. Peters, Yateley. The graves are marked by a rare, possibly unique headboard. This headboard is made entirely of wood, consisting of a series of boards in a framework mounted on short legs with pyramidal finials. The outstanding aspect is that no less than six family members are recorded, each with his or her individual board.

The whole construction is painted white and has, or rather had, the descriptions of the interred lettered in black.

It is not surprising, given our climate, that the headboard tends to deteriorate after a few years. The original was put up in Victorian times and has had to be renewed or refurbished several times since. The last complete renovation was in the 1950s and the sketch (figure 32) is taken from a photograph of that vintage.

By the late 1970s the headboard was in a bad state, rotten, and with most finials missing. Jean McIlwaine, the church archivist, set about organising another renovation and succeeded in obtaining the necessary raw materials. The woodwork was replaced with oak and painted white.

At this time the church was destroyed in the infamous arson attack, all energies were concentrated on theb church and the headboards were allowed to remain unfinished, without the lettering.

Today the woodwork has again reached a sad state (whoever advised Jean to accept oak made a mistake, oak does not take paint well and things are rotting merrily).

THE YATELEY SOCIETY is concerned about this as the headboards are very unusual. Reconstruction, using a better wood such as elm should improve matters, and this is being considered. Inevitably there is the problem of cost; so far all the Society knows is that an informal estimate for the raw materials alone comes to a horrifying figure. We will not let the matter rest, Yateley deserves its special features.

Notes:

1. The graves were once known as the "Angel Graves" because of the Miss and Mrs Angel Simmonds recorded on the headboards.

2. The 19th century Simmonds are recorded as "...late of the Parish of PADDINGTON...", while the later Simmonds have no such attribution - so who moved in which direction and when?

3. The headboards can be found halfway up the path leading from the church front door to Pipsons Lane.

Tony Hocking Yateley Society

Note by R H Johnston (28.4.1997): These graves were formerly maintained by a charitable trust, which probably ensured there survival when similar wooden headboards were lost. Changes in Charity regulations later resulted in the finance being diverted to the general Yateley Charities.]

1997: under inscription on the old board found loose, the first line has no "of". Last line "debarted" - is definitely "b" not "p", strong upstroke, no down stroke.

1997: Daughter Julia Vincent visited the site during the 1997 survey and said that her parent's memorial and grave was always at present location and in the form of a metal plate on stone (though the original stone broke and had to be replaced. She also says their family was astonished when the monument A59A appeared on the very same site for an unrelated family without their permission and having removed their planting. It would seem there was a confusion about the sites, as the burials were made at about the same time. Mr Dickenson had negotiated for the family to use this site which had been reserved, but the person for whom it had been reserved had been buried elsewhere.
