Notes about the Church	From the church website: The Registers are complete from the date of 1538 (the year when the King’s injunction was published, compelling the parish record to be kept) which is quite rare in this area of Shropshire. The original entries are in Latin. During the Commonwealth, births were recorded rather than baptisms. Today the registers are in the safe keeping of the County Archives in Shrewsbury.

Period Those periods with zero data may span several decades. The first may include pre 1530 records.	Baptisms	Marriages	Burials	Total
