Immediate source of acquisition

The records were deposited by the Rector in 1970 and 1971.

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

Croxton is an ancient parish, in the Archdeaconry and Diocese of Ely.

The living is a rectory. Since the later nineteenth century the living had commonly been held with Eltisley (see Victoria County History, vol 5, pp44-5, Diocesan Directory 1960 and Diocesan Directory 2003).

In 1836, the parish was incorporated (for poor law and related purposes) into the Caxton Poor Law Union. The civil (non-ecclesiastical) affairs of the parish have been separately governed since 1894.
