Does anyone know what cemeteries would be in Blendworth around 1604 and where I could inquire about burials there. Thanks

At that date, the burial place would have been the churchyard there.  The church records date from 1587.  Original records are kept at Hampshire Record Office in Winchester.

There are some transcriptions, but I'm not sure if they are available online.  Who are you looking for?

Er, if you know the burial dates already, are you asking if there are any memorial inscriptions?   HGS publish some memorial inscriptions on fiche, but Blendworth is not amongst them.  Others are published on CD, but I don't see it there either.

Not everyone had a headstone, especially if they were not well off, and a four hundred year old inscription might not be legible anymore. :(
