Transcription and conventions used
This dataset records 24,262 names from gravestones and other monuments in 99 churches, chapels, churchyards and burial grounds in Somerset.
Please note this dataset includes the complete monumental inscription and is gradually superceding a database with the brief genealogical details. As this process continues there may be periods where the two databases overlap though this will be kept to a minimum.
The records include:
- The complete Monumental Inscription
- Place
- Denomination
