Memorials
Memorials in All Saints Church Somerford Keynes
A detailed list of memorials by Surname can be found in the church porch, together with a plan showing where they are. This includes all identified graves. These are also on the History Group’s Resources disk, available for sale on the History Group Pages.
The Bowley charity survives to this day, though now collected with others as the George Soley Foyle Charity A detailed list of all burials, many of which may not have a remaining memorial, has been constructed from parish records [as have lists of baptisms and marriages]. Judy Monger has copies of all these, for family historians to consult. All such original records, [except most recent ones] are deposited in Gloucestershire Archives
