Between 1804 and 1809 the accounts were not examined every year, or even totalled in some cases. We have transcribed the entries running after each other as they appear in the original book. In some places Churchwardens have recorded Receipts, such as Levies, on opposing pages where there was a space, presumably to save paper!
