Epitaphs For Country Churchyards is a book written by Augustus J. C. Hare and published in 1856. The book is a collection of epitaphs, or inscriptions on gravestones, found in various country churchyards throughout England. Hare, a prolific writer and traveler, was known for his interest in historic architecture and art, and this book reflects his fascination with the history and culture of rural England. The epitaphs included in the book range from heartfelt expressions of grief and loss to humorous and satirical comments on life and death. Many of them provide a glimpse into the lives and personalities of the people buried in these churchyards, and offer a unique perspective on the social and cultural history of England. In addition to the epitaphs themselves, the book also includes Hare's commentary and observations on the churchyards and the people buried there. He provides historical context and background information on the churches and communities where the epitaphs were found, and offers insights into the traditions and customs of rural England. Overall, Epitaphs For Country Churchyards is a fascinating and often poignant look at the lives and deaths of ordinary people in England's rural past. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, genealogy, or the cultural and social history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
