Avon Memorial Inscriptions

This is the 'most senior' Society Project, having been started way back in about 1966, nine years before the B&AFHS was even formed.

Memorial Inscriptions

This is the ‘most senior’ Society Project, having been started way back in about 1966, nine years before BAFHS was even formed.  It was the brain-child of Ron Lewin who organised groups of volunteers to visit churchyards, mainly during the fine-weather months, and to document the information on all memorials in each location. These visits were often a day out with a picnic. The locations covered extend beyond the ‘Avon’ boundary.

All information was originally recorded only as manuscripts, kept in A4 ring binders. A spreadsheet index to the original documentation was completed by Ron in 2010 and is available in our Research Room at the Bristol Archives. There is a current project to transcribe all the records into a searchable database.

More information including details of a look-up service is available here.
