Pitchcombe Memorial Inscriptions
Pitchcombe Church
The church, built in 1376, was rebuilt in 1819.
Church Monumental Inscriptions
Details from Pitchcombe Church memorial inscriptions, taken in 1879. 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 at the Church, because it was compiled before the end of the 19th century, and also because it concentrates on inscriptions within the church. Additions or corrections are most welcome.
