Annotated transcription of a list of Monumental Inscriptions at Saint Mary's, Swanage (made 1847), contained in Volume 8 of A.M. Broadley's Extra Illustrated edition of Hutchins' History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset - (available at Dorset Local History Centre, Bridport Road, Dorchester).

Transcribed by Richard Wiltshire, from annotated copies made by Martin Ayres, December 2003.

Inserted in italics are additions made comparing Hutchins to a more recent transcript of monuments published in 1912 in 'The Registers of Swanage, Co. Dorset. 1563 - 1812.
Transcribed by Llewellyn Lloyd Simpson, of Littleover, near Derby.
Issued by The Parish Register Society (LXIX.).

In the preface (page: ix) Simpson states:

'There are no monuments in this church of any value or importance considering its age. What there are, are only tablets on the walls, and these are but few in comparison to what there used to be before the enlargement and alterations of 1859, when many disappeared altogether and for all time. The Churchyard, nearly all round the Church and its approaches from the gates, is paved with head-stones, on many of which no vestige of any lettering remains, and what are there now are fast becoming unreadable, and alas in a few years these will also be for ever blotted out and no particulars will remain to tell us of the last resting place of many of the former inhabitants of this old parish…With regard to the tablets in the Church, these have in many cases been removed from their former positions.'

Simpson also states with regard to monuments in the church that:

'Underneath the present vestry floor, about two feet below, is another floor paved with tombstones full of names, which consequently are buried out of sight' (page xi).

Comparison of Simpson's transcript with that contained in Broadley's edition of Hutchin's and the burial register calls into question the reliability and fullness of Simpson's transcript as a record of the monuments. Simpson's transcript has therefore not been reproduced in full here. However, the transcript mentions additional pre-1847 monumental inscriptions not recorded by Hutchins some of which have appeared in our survey and which mainly match the burial registers. These have therefore been added to Hutchins in italics.

[Note: Swanage Register gives death date of James son of James and Mary as 2 January which is in line with the burial date 2 January]

[Note: Swanage Register adds: Near by [slab to Timothy Chinchen], laid flat - Grace
wife of Nathaniel Brann died June 17, 1714 aged 66 years]

[Note: Comparison with Burial Register shows that James died in 1803 and Mary was aged 25 years]

[Note: Swanage Register gives: Another, Anne daughter of John & Ann Smedmore, died Oct - 1743, aged 4 years]

[Note: Swanage Register gives Elizabeth's age as 69 and adds
John Burt died Jan 1 1777, aged 90 years]

[Note: Swanage Register gives 9 June and also states 'Also Ann, another daughter]

[Note: Swanage Register adds:

On two plates which I found among the rubbish and coals under the stairs
leading to the east end of the north gallery, these:

The belfry is square and about 70 feet high having in it 4 bells. It seems to have been
under repair in 1790 one of its large beams being painted with that date and 'Timothy
Chinchen, John Talbott church wardens' and 'Joseph Ellis' who was the carpenter
that did the work - I could find no trace whatever of the declared antiquity of this
tower or any part of it. The inscriptions of the bells are:

1. Tenor   Honour the King E.W. 1621
Second    Lister and Pack London fecit 1764
Third        eare Godse (ie Fear God) E.W. 1612
Fourth      Think on God E.W. 1594

Note as the tenor and third were evidently one make from the figures of the dates
being the same it is most likely 1621 on the tenor should be 1612.
These bells are all of them of fine tone.
There is a clock in the tower and a sundial on the gable of the transept.
The Revd. Dr Bell celebrated as the supplanter of Lancaster in the collective system
of Education was rector of Swanage.

In
Memory of

My affliction is blest tis the work of my God
O merciful father I welcome the rod
Since by it I am brought to a sense of my sin
Eer I go to the grave where none pardon can win
Shall I rage that my sufferings are not my just doom

Forbid it dear Lord for from thee this all come
And are sent that mine eyes may be opened to see
Redemption for Jesus wrought even for me
When in health of my soul did I think of the worth
E'en the need of obtaining through grace a new birth
Lord thou knowst I did not, then the rod will I kiss
Love calls me to Jesus and Jesus to bliss

Who died Feby 6th 1841 aged 22 years

In Memory
of

I speak not now the dead to praise
Or on this stone falsely to raise
His name whose bones lie moulding here
Nearer to dust year after year

Content am I with truth to say
Onward he pac'd his heavenly way
Loving all those who sought the Lord
Loving all those who loved the word
Instant in prayer in doctrine sound
No bigotry in him was found
So may we all in grace abound
