Monumental Inscriptions
This is an abbreviated list of the details transcribed from all the memorials in the Sturminster Newton old burial ground. Memorials commemorating deaths less than 30 years old have not been included to avoid upsetting any relatives of the recently bereaved, details are available on request. Full details of all memorials are available by contacting the MI Coordinator (see contacts page). Please quote the MI reference number, the parish, the burial ground and the surname on all requests. Researchers are asked to please bear in mind that weathering of the stone and lichen growth can make transcription difficult and incomplete or even impossible in some cases.
The memorials were transcribed in situ by Brian Webber. Trancribed to database by Dorinda Miles
