NEW APPEARANCE
In October 2011, new site hosting arrangements resulted in changes to its appearance. We hope this makes it easier to read. The Front or News page gives full details of recent changes. Please take a moment to look at the recently added pages. (10th October 2011.) These changes have also brought some difficulties: if you experience any delays loading pages, or of disappearing images, kindly notify the site owner at NugentsofAntigua@gmail.com
Where they Lie: Nugent Graves records what is known of Nugent graves in Antigua and elsewhere and details the recent restoration (September 2011) of the graves of Sir Oliver and Lady Nugent at St George’s Church, Fitches Creek. Also, in January 2012 the graves of their son and daughter-in-law Oliver and Mary Nugent at St John’s municipal cemetery were restored and the page updated with new pictures courtesy of Jan Augustin. I am keen to draw this project to the attention of as many of their decendants as possible. (25th February 2012)
