Bishop's Itchington Parish Council

15/04/2026

Bishop’s Itchington Parish Council is seeking help to trace the relatives of the family connected to the donated bench outside the Chapel at Bishop’s Itchington Cemetery.

The bench is showing signs of wear and weathering, and maintenance work will shortly be carried out. As the Parish Council is responsible for the upkeep and repair of the bench, we would like to make contact with any relatives before this work takes place.

The inscription on the bench reads:

In Loving Memory of Margaret Fredrick Griffin
