Epitaphs for Country Churchyards (1856)

Epitaphs For Country Churchyards is a book written by Augustus J. C. Hare and originally published in 1856. The book is a collection of epitaphs, or inscriptions on gravestones, from various country churchyards in England. Hare, a travel writer and antiquarian, visited these churchyards and recorded the epitaphs he found there. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different churchyard. Hare includes not only the epitaphs themselves but also provides context for the churchyards and information about the people buried there. The epitaphs range from humorous to poignant and provide a glimpse into the lives and deaths of the people buried in these rural churchyards. Epitaphs For Country Churchyards offers readers a unique and fascinating look at English rural life in the 19th century. It is a valuable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in English culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
