Stourbridge Gravestones - St James Church Wollaston

As with St Mary's graveyard in Oldswinford, the main problem with this kind of exercise is that only those gravestones of more durable stone are readable. Depending upon the condition of the gravestone there may well be missing information as well, so missing words or letters will be indicated with a question mark, although sometimes I also show a question mark if I am not sure what something says as well. Sometimes I have left out verses to save time, but please contact me if you want more information. Often further information is obscured by plants but out of respect I am reluctant to disturb this. The information between each of the dotted lines below denote information on one gravestone.
