Title
RECORDS OF THE PARISH OF ALL SAINTS COTTENHAM, 1572 - 1973, INCLUDING RECORDS OF THE RECTORY MANOR, 1428 - 1815
Date
1428 - 1973
Description

The records deposited include court rolls and minute books of the Rectory manor 1448 - 1815 and a substantial quantity of ancillary papers (P50/3/1-155).

Arrangement

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.

Listed by Mary Siraut in 1974 and by Samantha Broughton in 1990, when some records were renumbered. A cross-reference list is appended. List slightly amended, and introductory note added, September 2003.

Immediate source of acquisition

The main body of records was deposited by the Rector in 1950, 1955, 1964, and 1980. A stray apprenticeship indenture, identified as relating to Brigham's Charity, was deposited in 1966 by Mr Frank Shaw (P50/25/1).

Administrative / biographical background

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.
