St Mary’s Ewell, Headstones Index

The Grummett Family headstone in St Mary’s Ewell

This list is taken from Appendix II of Maurice Exwood’s book Burials and their monuments in the old churchyard of Ewell in Surrey published by Bourne Hall Museum. It is based on transcripts of the monumental inscriptions in the oldest part of St. Mary’s graveyard which were recorded around 1949. Mr Exwood’s book explains that these 1949 records were compared with some even older records produced by Mr David Jones of Wallington in 1885. The records of Mr Jones indicate that his survey was perhaps not as complete and accurate as we would have liked. However the Jones records do give details of some of the graves/headstones that disappeared between 1885 and 1949. These are indicated by a J in the grave column and the following number refers to the relevant page in the Jones records.

The position of the graves compared to the Old Tower can be seen in this plan. Details of the individual inscriptions from the 1949 survey have been transcribed and are in the process of being checked but here is the provisional transcript.

Please note:
1. Some graves did not have a headstone or legible inscription in 1949 so may not shown on this list.
2.A J prefix in the grave number column indicates that the grave/headstone was not recorded in 1949. The J number is NOT a grave number but refers to the page of the Jones records where the name appears.
3.We believe that the bracketed data, e.g. [55], has been obtained from other sources such as parish records.
4.Some first names are not known
5.Some burial years were not recorded
6. Other parts of the graveyard have not been surveyed yet.
