The following portions have been transcribed by Andrew McCann between December 2000 and February 2001 from the fifth edition of Fletcher's book on Eyam, published some time between 1920 and 1930. Be sure not to miss the Miscellaneous section, as it has a selection of unusual entries from the parish registers, such as:- "1663.
