MI's in St Mary's Church, Horsham
Prior to the construction of a New Vestry to St Mary’s Church in Horsham in 2003, I was commissioned to record the graves and grave sites that were to be removed, following the guidelines as set down by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) and using their own memorial recording form (re-written for the computer) and drawing a new revised plan to a scale of 1:100 of the monuments within the proposed construction area.
Wherever possible, the visible inscriptions on the stones were recorded and compared against the survey commissioned by the Horsham Urban Council and undertaken by Donald Slyfield in 1952. – but it was found that the details contained within that 1952 survey were very basic, very often only recording the name, year and age at death. Several stones that were illegible in 1952 have produced inscriptions in 2003 by using different lighting conditions and techniques.
Listed below are the 640 Surnames found on the 1,175 churchyard memorials from that 1952 survey. The most common surname is 'Lintott' which appears 23 times on 12 different memorials
