Memorials in St Mary's and its Churchyard

Churchyard

St Mary's Churchyard was closed for burials in 1882 but the memorial inscriptions still contain much information of use to historians and genealogists.  The Welwyn Archaeological Society (WAS) performed a full survey in the 1980s and the data from that and other sources has now been transcribed for display on St Mary's web pages. We are grateful to the WAS for allowing their data to be used.

In Church

The memorials in St. Mary's Church were surveyed by the National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS) in 2001.

Thanks are due to Jim Holder-Vale and Jessie Lunt, who recorded the inscriptions and to Doris Jones, who translated them.
