Headstones in the Burial Ground at St Sampson's Church

Below are photographs and details of inscriptions on headstones in St Sampson's church ground. I have photographed these at random, choosing clearly incised stones that photograph well. Large copies of any of these photographs are available by e-mailing me. I have many more photographs that will not fit on this site, so please contact me.
There is also a Methodist Cemetery at Golberdon, but there are no memorials from the 19th century.

LOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHS - MAY TAKE TIME TO DOWNLOAD

The Cornwall Family History Society have recorded  608 inscriptions at the parish church and 131 at the Methodist Church.
