The transcribing of Norfolk Gravestone Inscriptions was a long and sometimes challenging experience but David Bird has had this overwhelming passion to get as many of these written down as soon as possible. Over the last few years he has noticed that these wonderful old relics of the past are deteriorating at an alarming rate, their writings will soon be lost forever due to the weathering of the stonework. We must protect and respect these wonderful pieces of ancient history and hope that others who come after us will do the same. In this volume you will find the following churches: - Marham, Middleton, Narborough, North Runcton, Pentney, Setchey, Shouldham, Tottenhill, West Bilney and West Winch. Among these memorials, epitaphs or tombstones as they are sometimes called there are some beautiful words of comfort, verses of poetry, and even some that are funny. These tombstones with wonderful epitaphs are an important part of our family history, they have sometimes been used in breaking down brick walls for family historians. Here are just a few of the surnames that are included in this volume: - Allday, Ayre, Back, Batchelor, Bradfield, Buttery, Candler, Claydon, Crispe, Dane, Davis, Dornall, Easter, Elmer, Fayers, Fitt, Garratt, Gooderson, Hastings, Hipperson, Jempson, Judd, Ketteringham, Leete, Lowden, MacGregor, Morgan, Neville, Norton, Offley, verland, Palgrave, Plews, Ramm, Robins, Seale, Starne, Thorpe, Tubbs, Van Dyke, Vynne, Waller, Wink, Yeoman and many, many more.This book will hopefully be an archive to the lives of those people who have passed on before us and will be there for others who come after our own time. Please read and remember all of those people who lived their lives many years ago. There are over 790 tombstone inscriptions inside this book and there's also the opportunity to purchase a digital copy of the actual gravestone if you require one.
