Burials 1690-1812

Transcribed from the Parish Register held at the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker

Re-formated and updated 2011

Arranged according to the Gregorian Calendar, with the Julian year indicated to the left of the forward slash (/) in those years when the Julian Calendar, which ran from March 25th to March 24th, was in use (i.e. prior to 1752, 1751 being the transition year).

The burial register prior to 1735 has not survived. Entries from 1731-4 are therefore from the Bishops Transcripts, and are clearly labelled as such
