Roll Call of the Monmouth Rebels, also known as the Monmouth Roll

This list was compiled from a number of lists, either in preparation for or during the Assizes conducted in the West Country in September and October 1685 or from the records of other courts held in various towns and villages held in the summer of that year. There were almost 4000 names on the list. The following are from Combe St. Nicholas.

Unless shown otherwise, all were recorded as “absent and believed”. In other words they did not turn up for their trial and were believed to have been rebels.
