Essex monumental inscriptions place list

The Essex memorial inscriptions have been compiled from engravings found on tombstones and other memorials in the churches and churchyards of Essex. They represent significant evidence for your family history research and can often provide additional information outside of death dates. This record set represents two decades of work by transcribers from the Essex Society for Family History

A full list of parishes covered by the records and the dates the records are available for is given below. The date ranges are those derived from the earliest and latest records and do not necessarily reflect a complete run of years.
