Thomas Bloomsbury (d.1829):
St Mary’s, Church Street, Newent GL18 1AB
Gloucestershire Record Office has prepared a useful source of “References to Black & Asian People, pre-1939”. It notes that a headstone in the churchyard of St Mary’s remembers Thomas Bloomsbury, “a native of Africa and for … 55 years a faithful servant to the late Samuel Richardson Esq”.
The current state of his headstone is not known.
