The Seaford Monumental Inscriptions Group - SeaMIG - was made up of local amateur historians. Our aim was the recording of most of the inscriptions on and locations of the monuments and memorials in Seaford. We recorded well over 8,000 names in doing so, including memorials at St Leonard's Church in the town centre, St Peter's Church, East Blatchington, St Thomas More in Sutton Road, Seaford Cemetery in Alfriston Road, the town's War Memorials and other inscriptions commemorating the lives of Seafordians and their history. |

The enterprise was initiated by members of the Seaford Museum & Heritage Society's History Group in 2011. Membership was solely dependant upon a willingness to join in with the task of deciphering what it says on gravestones etc, or once said before algae, lichen, wind, weather and Seaford's driving salt spray got at them! We usually gathered for about 2 hours once a week. Reading inscriptions started when the weather permitted in Spring, and ended when it became too wet again in Autumn. The main sites were finally deemed "done" in 2020. |
