Inscriptions and Epitaphs on Tombstones in Bangor Cathedral Churchyard

In May, 1948, Messrs J. Ingman and R.E. Jones of Bangor, undertook, on behalf of the Caernarvonshire Historical Society, a comprehensive survey of the tombstones and memorials in the Cathedral Burial Ground, and carefully copied all such inscriptions and epitaphs as were legible. These will well repay study by the local historian, supplying as they do a valuable and unique conspectus of the social life of the town and parish during the last 150 years or so. The earliest recorded epitaph is that of John Ambrose of Bangor, Perukemaker who died in February, 1771 and was an ancestor of the musician John Ambrose Lloyd (p. 1); it is followed by that of Henry Parry curiously described as a "Surgeon and manmidwife" who died in 1772 (p. 163); and incidentally, with him lie buried a John Parry and his wife who lost their lives in the wreck of the Rothsay Castle on the night of the 17th of August 1831. Another interesting epitaph is that devoted to Catherine Pritchard of Tyddynheilin who died in 1813 at the age of 83 having been a "faithful member of the Calvinistic Methodists for 71 years"
