The Gravestone Photographic Resource project is an attempt to provide a much needed free on-line resource for family historians and other researchers.
The GPR is run by Charles Sale. He set it up in 1998 and has written all the code and database routines used by the website.

Title: Pepper link Found
Comment: I would like to thank you for all the hard work you have done in providing all the researchers with their love ones. John William Pepper and his wife Nora C C Pepper nee Tosbell is my first cousin 2 removed. Most of the Pepper family came from Chelmsford, Alham, Colchester to mention a few. I can now go down and pay my respects.
There is also a system on the website that allows you to ask for help with your research:

Title: where'd it go?
Comment: I requested an image of Joseph and Elizabeth Cross's tombstone, but when I followed your directions and clicked on view image after filling out the request, it just sent me back to the start of filling out the request. where do I find the picture I requested?
Besides having grave monument photographs, the GPR also has an image collection of most of its cemeteries, churches and war memorials.
The GPR is run by Charles Sale. He set it up in 1998 and has written all the code used by the website.
In the beginning, Charles did everything but now he has many volunteers who photogaphs cemeteries. These photographs are then used to extract all the names and other details mentioned on the monument.
To make the GPR even better, please think about photographing your local churchyard or cemetery. It is easy to register as a new volunteer.
