The documents below are short histories of individuals or families residing in the parish. Apart from William Smith and Francis Festing, the people included here are very ordinary. Indeed, most of them were paupers at some time in their lives. Much of the information relating to them has been gathered from Settlement Examinations. Whilst not claimed to be typical, it does show how some people lived and died.

If you have a document you would like to share here for the benefit of others researching village/family history please contact Jemma Browning.

Please note that these documents may not be sold, licensed, transferred, copied or reproduced in whole or in part in any manner or in or on any media to any person without prior written consent.
