Nottinghamshire Monumental Inscriptions
Explore over 150,000 new records, covering the years 1317-2022. Nottinghamshire Monumental Inscriptions record the details carved on gravestones, memorials, and plaques found in churchyards and burial grounds across the county. These inscriptions often preserve information that does not survive elsewhere, including exact death dates, family relationships, occupations, and personal epitaphs. They are an invaluable resource for tracing Nottinghamshire families, confirming burial places, and adding depth and context to family histories.
