Description: | This is a brief history of the parish based partly on Paddison's own knowledge, and partly on a "list of occupiers of land in the year 1825", which was in the possession of a former dike reeve. The history starts with a description of the development of farming practices since medieval times, followed by the transcription of the list of occupiers, and is concluded by a description of the churches and chapels of the parish, the sunday schools, and the rise of Wesleyanism.
The history occupies the first 40 pages of the volume.
Enclosed:
1) A list of inscriptions on gravestones in Saltfleetby All Saints churchyards, 1912 (not Paddison's hand, except the title).
2) A note made about "an ideal friend that once had an existence", 2 Jan 1912. The tenses have been changed from present to past, but the note refers to Paddison's companion/housekeeper, Miss Fletcher.
3) An engraving of John C Leppington, a methodist preacher. Annotated by Paddison to the effect that Leppington opened the East End chapel in Saltfleetby, and that Paddison's mother heard him preach in c1827 (Torn and fragile).
4) Extracts from a copy of the parish register belonging to "Miss Kirby of Saltfleet". Paddison believes the original to be in Skidbrook church.
5) Inscriptions on tombstones & monuments, Saltfleetby St Peter's church. (Not Paddison's hand). | Temporal: | 1907 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
