About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The foundation stone of the dedication of St. Peter's Church was laid on June 10, 1847 and was financed by Edward Smith-Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby. The oldest part of the church was built in limestone with sandstone trim and a state roof. The chancel and steeple were added in 1925. Inskip is a small village in the Fylde area of Lancashire and has been documented in this location since 1089. It is near to the RNAS Inskip airfield, "HMS Nightjar," serving military as a tri-service communication center during World War I and World War II. The churchyard cemetery has numerous upright markers with a wall surrounding it. A tall cross marker has an inscription written on it "This monument was erected by subscription to the memory of the brave men of this parish who gave their lives for King and country in the Great European War; 1914-1918, Thomas Crook, H.L.I.; Richard Ibison, S.G (Scots Guards).; Geoffrey Connell Lancaster, L.N.L.; William Porter, S.L.I.; William Porter, W.Y.R.; William Stuart, H.L.L.I. GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR FRIENDS."
