I have transcribed all the entries for Houghtons in the above volume and on a recent visit to the church I took photographs of the only Houghton gravestones remaining (or at least, the only ones that I could find) and they are included at the end of this section.<\/p>\n

My notes in italics:<\/em><\/p>\n

Note 1: Author’s list of place name abbreviations does not have an entry for N. so is probably Newton. (Also, photo below states ‘of Newton’).<\/em><\/p>\n

Note 2: No abbreviation given. (Lowton House?)<\/em><\/p>\n

* The photo of the gravestone (see below) clearly shows that the year is 1840, not 1810 as printed in the above publication.<\/em><\/p>\n
