On this page you will eventually find a full listing of headstones located at the Stroud Anglican Church, along with transcriptions of each grave. Though few if any of the people buried in this cemetery are related to me, I have included this page on my site because of the historical interest I have in the town of Stroud.

For a larger image of any of the pictures below simply click on them. Some of the headstones could not be read from the photos taken, so these will all be checked when I visit the cemetery next (and then the listings will be updated).
