Since I first created The Sexton's Tales site back in 1994, a number of awards have wingéd my way.
Recently, in a radio interview, I was asked whether I thought these accolades important. The way I reckon it - if anyone takes the time to browse my pages, and likes them sufficently enough to write and tell me - I'm more than chuffed.


The following awards are not in any particular order. Some offer links to the donor which if followed, may lead your site to untold publicity...

THE BEST THEME AWARD 1997

On presenting this award:

"The subject matter you have chosen is very difficult to present in a manner that is interesting to most people, death and cemetery are not normally looked upon so tastefully."

For those interested in Victoriana, this site provides a fascinating insight into the period and provides some great links.
