The Food Bank is seriously short of supplies, especially:
instant mash, long life fruit juice, bottles of squash, tinned meat, tinned pulses (kidney beans, chickpeas, etc), puddings and desserts (individual sponge puddings, jelly, cake bars, Mr Kipling like tarts etc) rice pudding, biscuits, savoury snacks like crisps, small jars of coffee, laundry pods/detergent and washing up liquid. Also toiletries such as deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shower gel and shampoo, sanitary protection, baby wipes.
Bank the Food is a charity set up to make sure foodbanks get exactly what they need – and not just baked beans. You can download their App which will enable you to see what the local foodbank needs at any time.

Graves in the Churchyard at St. Botolph Longthorpe
A list of all the burials and internment of ashes in St Botolph’s graveyard has been compiled from several resources: the church’s plan, the church’s list of cremations, St Botolph’s burial registers (from 1850), descriptions of gravestones compiled in the 1980s by the Peterborough Family History Society and the website “Find a Grave.”
Graves in the list can be located by reference to the churchyard plan below. Please note that there are no markers for many people listed here, particularly those dating back to the 19th century or earlier.
The list was compiled by Jane Hogg. If you have any queries or comments on the list, please contact Jane at

War Memorials & War Graves

St Botolph’s Church, Longthorpe, Peterborough, PE3 6LU

St Botolph’s Church has several memorials commemorating those who died serving in the armed forces. They incorporate the Second Boer War, both World Wars and also two non-combat deaths on active service. Most of those memorials are within St Botolph’s Church, but its graveyard also contains three actual War Graves as well as two further war memorials in the form of commemorative inscriptions on family headstones. The Church also contains a First World War Roll of Honour of men connected to the village who served in the armed forces, listing both survivors and casualties.
(Longthorpe’s communal World War 1 Memorial commemorating those who died is the communion rail in St Botolph’s Church. The Parish’s World War 2 Memorial comprised the Village Hall that was opened by Captain T.W. Fitzwilliam on 6/3/1947. That structure was demolished in 2008 and replaced by the current Village Hall that officially opened on 3/4/2009).
Details of the war memorials and a brief biography of each of the casualties named upon them are outlined in the following pages. The data has been drawn from numerous sources, including the General Register Office’s birth/marriage/death indices; census records (and 1939 Register); Probate records; the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Casualty Registers; Medal Index Cards; service records; War Diaries; newspaper archives; etc.
Whilst care has been taken to transcribe the information accurately, the details are subject to the reader’s own verification from original records. I apologise sincerely for any error this booklet may contain.
