Gretna Old Church

Gretna Old Church is situated in the

Scottish village of Gretna, but there

are many people from the Cumbrian

side of the border who were buried

here. The pre 1855 inscriptions at

Gretna were transcribed by Gilchrist

and Shannon in the 1960s and are

now published by the Dumfries and

Galloway Family History Society.

Over the past few years I have taken

a lot of photos at Gretna, trying to

find some of the post 1855 inscrip-

tions. Many of the inscriptions origin-

ally recorded are now illegible or

buried under vegetation, however

there are many inscriptions here not

in the original transcript, so this is

meant as a supplement to the ori-

ginal DGFHS publication. My tran-

scriptions taken from photos so are

not guaranteed accurate!

under each photo, or can be down-

loaded as a PDF document.
