THE REGISTERS OF BRANTINGHAM.
1902. PREFACE. THE parish of Brantingham comprised the chapelries of Blacktoft and Ellerker. The living was appropriated by the Bishop of Durham to the Prior and Convent, who probably sent relays of clergy to minister to the three churches. Blacktoft had a separate register, but that at Brantingham included Ellerker. The following registers commence in 1653, and are comprised in five hooks (up to 1812). The first consists of eight leaves of parchment, measuring 12 by 7 inches, and has a parchment cover. The second contains sixty-four parchment leaves, 14 by 64 inches, and has a parchment cover. The third is a marriage register, with paper leaves and a cardboard cover, and measures 16 by 10 inches. The fourth is also a marriage register, on paper 15 by 91 inches, and was "lost for many years." The fifth book measures 15 by 74 inches, contains sixty-seven parchment leaves (only seventeen of which have been utilised), and is bound in leather. The writing is on the whole fairly legible, and the books are in good preservation. There were several testamentary burials at Brantingham prior to these registers. Amongst others Anthony Smetheley of Brantingham, who died in 1577, having directed that he should be "buried near his father and mother, and that a great stone be sett in the inside of the Church wall near his grave, and thereon be engraven his name and arms." The register of the burial of Thomas Jobson, 9 July, 1800, has an interesting note. The thanks of the Society are due to the Vicar, the Rev. B. S. WILSON, for his great courtesy in affording access to the MSS., and for assisting in the correction of the proofs. G. E. W. THORNTON HOUSE, NEAR BROUGH, E.R.
