Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The present Volume contains extracts from Wills proved in the Exchequer and Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of York, to the year 1750, and from a few Wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury; also copies of the Parish Registers from 1653 to 1812, with the existing transcripts for earlier years, and the Monumental Inscriptions in the Church and Churchyard.<br><br>The Editor desires to thank Messrs. William Brown, F.S.A.,and W. T. Lancaster, F.S.A.,for assistance kindly rendered in respect of some of the earliest Wills, and also to thank the Rector, the Rev. F. S. Colman, M.A.,for his kindness in allowing the Registers to be printed, and for the facilities he has most readily afforded for transcription and collation. Mr. Colman has written an excellent History of the Parish which is now being printed for the Thoresby Society.
