Leonard Stanley Church Memorials 1879
Details from the memorial inscriptions from St. Swithen's Church Leonard Stanley, taken in 1879. More detailed information is provided on the entries relating to the HOLBROW family.
The first volume of Gloucestershire Notes and Queries was published in 1881, edited by Rev. Beaver H. Blacker, M.A., and is used 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.
This list does not cover all memorial inscriptions 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.
