Not Trampled But Walked Over
A Study of the Ledgerstones in the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Mitcham
Studies in Merton History 4: by Ray Ninnis
A first for our Society - a volume in our Studies in Merton History series not written by Eric Montague! However, author Ray Ninnis acknowledges the debt that this book owes to Eric's published and unpublished works. The ledgerstones (inscribed flagstones used to seal graves and vaults) in Mitcham parish church have been concealed under the carpeted floor since 1991. Fortunately Ray had photographed many of them, and had copied the inscriptions, shortly before they were covered, and this book reproduces this material, together with biographical notes. This book is a must for local and family historians.
