RA 48 A LIST OF MIDDLESEX MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS
by Cliff Webb. Monumental inscriptions are, of course, a very valuable source for genealogists. Many copies, made in the past, preserve information from tombstones no longer standing, or if standing, no longer legible. When modern surveys of churches and churchyards are made and published, it is not always clear whether the compilers have utilized and cross-checked with older copies. For this reason in this list, I have included all copies that I can find, except where it is clear that the copy is of a published edition. (£1.00 + p&p 25p UK or 70p overseas surface).
