One of the Churchwarden functions was to agree the church rates to be levied from householders for repair of the church etc. The lists are too long to transcribe so for my own purposes I have simply extracted a few names of current interest to me. The full lists are on www.ancestry.co.uk but have not been indexed so are not searchable. I have therefore included image numbers against each meeting so that records can be quickly located. |
