Norfolk: Ashill - 1795-99 - Churchwardens' Payments
hide
Hide
Ashill raised money at various times, to either support its poor (from the Overseers' Rate) or to pay for other parish expenses (from the Churchwardens' Rate). This rate was levied on the occupiers (who may not have owned the land) and based upon the value of the property (which was usually a rental valuation). Both occupiers and owners are found living in and outside the parish.
For more information on these records see the Parish Accounts page.
This is one item from a Norfolk Record Office document [with the reference PD 548/52 and microform MF 718/5] containing the Churchwardens' accounts book for 1795-1861.
Note that only extracts have been transcribed but this includes most items which mention surnames. Common events eg. bread/wine, some non-specific trade bills etc. have for the most part been excluded.

Notes
- In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Able/Abel, Harreld/Herrold - The Accounts for 1828 refer to "Dog Whipping". This is a reference to "whipping dogs out of church" and the day associated with it was St. Luke's Day (18th October).
