Cemeteries information for Amersham and places above it in the hierarchy
Amersham
There are few legible memorials in the churchyard immediately surrounding St.Mary's church, although the fine set of Drake family memorials inside the church have been transcribed by the author of this page. Modern burials for the Parish church are in a separate graveyard just the other side of the Misbourne.
Most modern memorials in the Amersham area are associated with the Chilterns Crematorium, about a mile out of the town on the Wycombe road.
The following Monumental Inscriptions are available as publications or as part of a Society library:
- Monumental Inscriptions for the old churchyard are in the library* of the Buckinghamshire Genealogical Society
- Monumental Inscriptions for the Platt Baptist church are in the library* of the Buckinghamshire Genealogical Society.
- Monumental Inscriptions for the Old Baptist church are in the library* of the Buckinghamshire Genealogical Society.
