CLIFTON ROAD CEMETERY MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS

Clifton Road Cemetery in Rugby was opened in 1864 when the churchyard of St Andrews, the Parish Church of Rugby was becoming full.

The Monumental Inscriptions were transcribed by Mr M Beare and members of the Rugby Family History Group between June 1991 and May 1993. The information has previously been published by RFHG in Print and on Microfiche.

  Each record from the cemetery has been allocated an alphanumeric identity to facilitate research on this large site.

  Firstly the cemetery is divided into seventeen sections, each identified by a letter. The identity letters used by the Rugby Borough Council have generally been followed with the exception of part of the Council’s section G, which lies between the western path and the boundary wall is called OG. This outer area has few monuments and the arrangement of the plots is less readily apparent than elsewhere. A site map showing the layout precedes the detailed records.

  Each section is then divided into numbered plots. These numbers have been allocated by the compiler and do not correspond with the Rugby Borough Council numbers, which may occasionally be seen on monuments or on marker pegs. Detailed maps showing the details of the numbers used in this transcription precede each Section.

  A small number of monuments have been removed and stored adjacent to the Lower Hillmorton Road boundary wall. These are identified only by the letter of the adjacent section.
