Church of England project hopes to immortalise the tombs of millions of people buried,
as well as those interred on unconsecrated land. Maps and photographs will be uploaded
alongside burial records in a searchable database</p><p>The Church is grateful to
Historic England for backing the project, which it has match-funded, and hopes that
