| As an aid to genealogical research, Hanslope & District Historical Society are pleased to make available the results of a 1994 survey which recorded the inscriptions on monuments in the churchyard and inside the church. The location of the monuments in that year are also recorded. For the locations, please refer to the "Location Map" page.
A considerable effort went into deciphering inscriptions that had been eroded through time, the elements and even - at times - enthusiastic wire brushing! Not all inscriptions remain, but anything which could be deciphered was recorded, even where names, dates, etc were incomplete. Where insufficient information could be recovered to enable proper cataloguing, it was still recorded and is listed here on the "Unattributed" page. Like most churchyards, changes take place as old stones fall, are broken, become eroded, or are cleared to assist maintenance of the area. Some of he inscriptions which were recorded in 1994 may no longer be legible or even in existence. Following a recnt addtional survey, the list has now been updated to the year 2000. The majority of the new entries are in the areas marked as Cr. or Recent Burials on the map. It is hoped to have an improved version of the location map in the future. |
