ThornburyRoots

 Monumental Inscriptions from the churchyard of

St Mary's Church Thornbury

These monumental inscriptions within the churchyard of St Mary's, Thornbury come from 3 sources.  The earlier ones were included in the collection made by Ralph Bigland, a Garter King of Arms in the late eighteenth century.  Others were transcribed by Mr and Mrs S. F. Pitts of Thornbury between 1985 and 1988 and added to by George Mills, also of Thornbury, who also drew up a plan to show the position of the graves.  The excellent work of these people has been invaluable to residents and of course to visitors to Thornbury who want to trace their family roots.  We have entered them in this website to make them available to a wider audience.  We have verified them where possible, but some have obviously deteriorated further and we are grateful that transcriptions were taken in time.  We have added photographs that we took in 2006.

The surnames are arranged alphabetically.  Please click on the appropriate letter in the list shown on the left to search for the name you are interested in. 

In the list of inscriptions for each letter, the reference next to each inscription helps you locate the tomb if you want to visit the Church.  Please click here if you want to locate a grave.
