Churchyard Inscriptions: Garden of Remembrance

This information forms part of a major survey of monumental inscriptions at Badsey.

The first cremated ashes were interred here in 1964. There is no numbering for these in the registers, therefore these are numbered from GOR1 onwards. A number of interments in the Garden of Remembrance were without ceremony, therefore are not recorded in the registers.

Here is the surname index.
