Longney Church Memorial Inscriptions 1879

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 the memorial inscriptions within the church and churchyard recorded in 1879. Additions to the list are most welcome.
