Painswick Church Monumental Inscriptions
Details from the memorial inscriptions from St. Mary's Church Painswick, Gloucestershire, England, taken in 1879.
The first volume of Gloucestershire Notes and Queries was published in 1881, edited by Rev. Beaver H. Blacker, M.A., and is used for the bulk of the information detailed below. The spelling and grammar are as the original but surnames have been put in capitals to aid identification. The original data has been expanded to include age at death, as well as information from other sources.
This list does not cover all memorial inscriptions at the Church, because it was compiled before the end of the 19th century, and also because it concentrates on the inscriptions within the church. Additions to the list are most welcome.

Note 2. On six tablets affixed to the outside of the church these names and dates.
Note 3. In the churchyard, at the grave of John Parker, who died September 4th, 1799, aged 56 years :-

By chance he met grim Death,
Who with his dart did strike his heart,
And robbed him of his breath.
