King's Stanley Church Monumental Inscriptions

The first volume of Gloucestershire Notes and Queries was published in 1881, edited by Rev. Beaver H. Blacker, M.A. and is used as a basis for the bulk of the information detailed below. The spelling and grammar are as the original but surnames have been put in capitals to aid identification. The original data has been expanded to include age at death, as well as information from other sources. The right hand column refers to the location details, either as noted in the original book or in the alternative source.

This list does not cover all memorial inscriptions at King's Stanley Church, because it was compiled before the end of the 19th century, and also because it concentrates on the inscriptions within the church. Additions to the list are most welcome.
