St. Mary Magdalene Church, Rodborough. Memorial Inscriptions
The first volume of Gloucestershire Notes and Queries was published in 1881, edited by Rev. Beaver H. Blacker, M.A. The notes below are taken from this volume, and the spelling and grammar are as the original. The surnames have been put in capitals to aid identification.
In the original book the information was provided either in separate alphabetical tables, split according to the location of the inscription within the church, or in the form of transcripts of the original inscription. This information has been condensed into a single table, with the right hand column referring to the location details as noted in the original book.
This list does not cover all memorial inscriptions at Rodborough Church, because it was compiled in 1879, and also because it concentrated on the inscriptions within the church. Additions to the list are most welcome.
