The full title of the attached booklet is
Inscriptions in Ufford Churchyard, Suffolk. Also Names of those buried in the New Churchyard, without Tombstones. The quality of the machine-readable text is the best I can achieve under RootsChat's maximum file size.
A note at the top of the third page ascribes the original transcription in 1928 to C.P. [
Charles Partridge (1872-1955)] and the revision in 1931 to H.D. [presumably the rector, the Revd Herbert Drake (1868-1947)].
The index of surnames (pages 22-25) incorporates people commemorated in the new churchyard (section G: pages 18-22) but not those without gravestones, whose unnumbered and undated lower-case entries are interspersed. As stated on page 18, the plots in each of the six rows in this section are listed from south to north, and single burials in double graves are marked by the letter
D.
The oldest stone found in the churchyard in 1928 was on the grave of Hannah Newson, who died in 1753 aged 77. There was no apparent trace of her when Ufford was surveyed again in 1966 by pupils of Bacton Modern School. Their copies of the monumental inscriptions in both the churchyard and the church may not be the most accurate but they include additional details, such as verses. They were published in 2007 on a mini-CD in the "Medway Series of Monumental Inscriptions" by the Parish Register Transcription Society in collaboration with the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies, from whom that CD was still available in 2023. Its latest record is for Eardley Steuart Blois Brooke (1869-1955). There are a few from the 1930s and 1940s, e.g. Francis George Drake (1916-1934) and his parents, Catherine Maude Drake (1871 [not 1781]-1944) and Herbert Drake (1868-1947 [not 1941]) who was Rector of Ufford from 1919 to 1947.
