Notes

• Entries pertaining to Sir Harbottle Grimston’s family can be found in the earliest register.
• Baptisms a little sparse in the late 1640s. The register at this point has a haphazard range of handwriting. From then, they run: 1653-1657, none 1658, then 27 from 1659-1664. Only a couple recorded from the 1670s. Twelve from the 1680s, and they restart properly in 1690.
• Burials become sparse from the mid-1640s. Sixteen only from 1653-1657, one for the 1660s, none for the 1670s, two in the 1680s – before they restart properly in 1690.
• No marriages 1642-1645, or 1646-1688, except two marriages from the 1650s, but the last digit of the year is illegible.
