Immediate source of acquisition (When and where the record was acquired from)
-
The records were deposited by the Rector and Parochial Church Council in May and October 1977.
Ecclesiastical parish records deposited at County Record Office Cambridge were listed according to a scheme of numbered classes, not all of which are present for every parish. Additional records have been added to each class as they have been deposited, with the result that some series are broken and it may be necessary to look through the entire class to identify a full series.

Administrative / biographical background (Historical or biographical information about the creator of the record and the context of its creation)
-
Coton is an ancient parish, having a rector by the late 13th century, but was earlier dependent upon Grantchester church (Victoria County History, vol 5, p 194). It lies in the Archdeaconry and Diocese of Ely.
The living is a rectory. It is now (2003) held in plurality with Barton, both livings being in the care of a Priest in Charge (Diocesan Directory 2003).
In 1836, the parish was incorporated (for poor law and related purposes) into the Chesterton Poor Law Union. The civil (non-ecclesiastical) affairs of the parish have been separately governed since 1894.
