St Leonard's Church, Cotheridge (Berkeley Monuments)

The BERKELEY family lived at Cotheridge Court, opposite the church, and were its patrons for over 300 years, from 1615 to 1949.

The inscription on the left hand memorial reads:

Sacred / To the Memory of /
William BERKELEY Esq of
of Cotheridge Court
Worcestershire
who departed this life
on the 15th of November 1869
in the 85th Year of his Age.
Deeply Lamented
by his Affectionate Widow
and Children

Additional Note: William BERKELEY died Dec 1/4 1869
aged 85 registered Martley 6c 164 (FreeBMD)

It wasn't possible to get close enough to the right hand monument to take a photograph of sufficient clarity to be able to read the inscription fully - this is my best attempt:

Rev. William Comyns BERKELY
