KENDAL, WESTMORLAND
Parish Church

NOTES
The following inscriptions were transcribed from wall memorials in the church. There are believed to have been other Rawes inscriptions in the churchyard but regrettably the churchyard has been cleared of its memorials. Richard Rawes was a 'Purser' in the Honourable East India Company Service and on a number of occasions sailed with his cousin Captain Richard Rawes.
