The Church of England will use laser-scanning to map burial grounds and make them free to search online.
The Church of England has launched a project to map all its churchyards using laser equipment. The Church has partnered with Cumbrian-based surveying company AG Intl Ltd, who will map its churchyards using backpack-mounted laser scanners as well as photographing the headstones. The resulting records will be published on a new website, where they will enable family historians to discover where their ancestors are buried.
