THORPE BASSETT Buckrose D. (ER) now deanery of Buckrose T.B. 1- 4 Parish registers 1 baptisms) 1656/7-1679, 1690-1774 burials ) marriages 1656/7-1679, 1690-1755 (on the inside of the first folio is a note that George W. Wrangham, the rector, in 1846 'retraced' the 'almost obliterated' writing in this and the succeeding book 'with good ink'. The result is not altogether a happy one and apart from individual entries which must now be suspect the apparent lacuna, 1679-1690 requires careful consideration for the recto of one folio finishes in Mar. 1679/80 and the verso of the same folio appears to commence June 1690. There appear to be a number of cancellations as well as palimpsests on this verso which unfortunately are not easily decipherable even under ultra-violet) 2 baptisms) 1774-1812 burials ) 3 marriages 1754-1812 4 marriages 1813-1845 5 Churchwardens' accounts 1836-1868
