NOTES ON THE TRANSCRIPTION
Inscriptions are transcribed using the original spelling, but with lower case letters and conventional use of capitals.
Roman typeface has been used for the transcribed monumental inscriptions, italics for the epitaphs and descriptions of other features of the monument.
Punctuation
appears in the transcript where it occurs in the inscriptions but, in many instances, the punctuation used by the mason has been converted into normal, current usage. Many monuments for example employ stops where we would use commas and I have taken the liberty of making that conversion in the transcription.
Oblique strokes indicate the end of each line of inscription.
Personal names have been put into bold type for emphasis.
Curly brackets { } have been used to distinguish those parts of the inscriptions which are now missing or illegible but for which the original
text may be deduced by the context. The same brackets have been placed around descriptions of carved motifs within the area of the inscription.
Readings contained within square brackets have been determined by reference to sources such as the Winteringham burial registers and a record of
the inscriptions made in 1990.
Round brackets indicate the use of brackets in the original inscription.
Some memorials carry the name of the monumental mason
who carved them. Masons' names are usually found inscribed on the edges or near the bases of some of the monuments; when they have been found, such names are recorded here after a brief description of the monument itself.
Please be aware that, although my aim is to be complete and accurate in every respect, I realise that I am as capable as anyone of making
errors and omissions. I should be very grateful therefore to learn of any improvements or corrections which could be made so that the transcripts are of greater benefit to others.
