Holy Trinity Church is situated in Portland St., Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire, England.
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 covers only memorial inscriptions within
the Church, and was compiled before 1881. Additions are most welcome
There are no less than one hundred and seventy two inscriptions,
of which literal copies have been taken; and the following is an index to the
names mentioned therein, with the date of death in each case :-

The burials beneath the church, and in the surrounding churchyard, have been
very numerous. The register dates only from Dec. 19, 1823; but it contains many
important entries, the total amount of burials amounting (Dec 12, 1877) to 894.
Elizabeth BODEN . In a vault
beneath this church are deposited the remains of Elizth. BODEN, who died the
24th Augst., 1827, aged 19 years. By her decease the residuary property of her
father (the late Lieut. Col. Joseph BODEN, of the Hon. East India Company's
Bombay Establishment), now in the Court of Chancery, estimated at the sum of
£25,000 or thereabouts, devolves to the University of Oxford, and according to
the following directions extracted from his will, dated the 15th August 1811, is
'to be by that Body appropriated in and towards the erection and endowment of a
Professorship in the Sanscrit Language at or in any or either of the Colleges in
the said University, being of opinion that a more general and critical knowledge
of that language will be a means of enabling my countrymen to proceed in the
conversion of the natives of India to the Christian Religion, by disseminating a
knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures amongst them, more effectually than all other
means whatsoever.' Lieut.-Col BODEN died at Lisbon on the 21st Novr., 1811. To
perpetuate his memory, and record the pious purpose to which he devoted his
property to be applied, the surviving executors of his last will and testament
have caused this tablet to be here affixed."
