The starting point for finding headstones and other memorials.

Matlock & District researchers are fortunate as the majority of commemorative memorials in and around the churches and chapels of Matlock and Matlock Bath have been transcribed by either the Derbyshire Ancestral Research Group or the Derbyshire Family History Society, especially valuable as some of the buildings are no longer places of worship. So even if only the surname is found here, the memorial inscription can still be obtained by approaching one or other society for the transcript.
How to find out more about this

To find the headstone for the grave or other memorial please use the following:

• Surnames Index includes details of where all Matlock and District memorials are, or were, located.
  • The surnames indexes include how to find out more information, especially important if the transcript is not provided on this web site.

  • either by using the menu on the right »
