In a box marked miscellaneous, unopened since 1961
What it is
A complete set of estate accounts from 1798 to 1841, in one hand, with a rental for every holding in the parish.
Why it matters
Because it names every tenant for forty-three years, which is the period the parish register is worst for. It fills a real gap.
What happens now
It is being photographed page by page and will be free to anybody. About four hundred pages and roughly six months of work.
