MEMORIALS IN EXNING CHURCHYARD

Below is a list of memorials in the Churchyard at Exning near Newmarket in the County of Suffolk in England. The numbers refer to the numbers on the plan of the Churchyard.

[Alphabetic List]

The full inscriptions are not reproduced here. The type of tomb and if there is a footstone is recorded. Where it is decipherable the surname (or initial) is given first followed by the Christian Names, day of death, month of death, year of death and age at death. Other commemorated on the stone are also recorded together with their relationship to the first person recorded on the stone. Where a date of death is recorded then it is almost certain that that person is buried in that place, others recorded on the tomb may simply be grieving relatives or ancestors.

Interesting inscriptions are also given
