Swindon Nr Cheltenham. Church Monumental 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.
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.
Literal copies of the thirteen inscriptions in the Church are given in The Genealogist, vol. i., pp. 332, 333; 366-368 (January and April, 18771879) ; and the following is an index to the names mentioned therein, with the date of death in each case :-
