Dear Margaret,

Below is an extract from St. Cross Burial register of the entries for the surname Bostock which gives dates of burial (but not dates of death). Our inscriptions database records inscriptions on the stones but in this case only gives months and years but not which day in the date of death. I do not know about an altar cloth but I can ask some of the older members of our congregation if they know or have any memories of them. I will get back to you if I find out any further information.
We also have Baptism and Marriage databases which we can search if you would like any more information - just let us know.
Best regards,
Jean Bruce, Parish secretary
