Burials 1700-1799 for the Parish of Wimpole (Page Three) From the Parish Registers
St Andrew's Parish Church, Wimpole
A local history and genealogy page for the Parish of Wimpole.
St Andrew's Parish Church.
A living church for the Parish of Wimpole, located within the National Trust's
Wimpole Hall Estate.
The Church is managed and maintained by the Parochial Church Council.
My thanks and acknowledgments to the Parochial Church Council for Wimpole and St Andrew's Parish Church for allowing the online publication of the Church Registers.
The listings that follow are based on the provided Church Registers for the Parish of
Wimpole,
as transcribed and collated by T P R Layng in March 1983. Originally
typed
by C L
and A E Hatton. Additional research for this website
is by Steve Odell.
In medieval times there were no parish registers. Through the efforts of Thomas Cromwell in 1538 a mandate was issued by Henry VIII for churches to maintain parish records. This ordered that every parson, vicar or curate was to enter in a book every wedding, baptism and burial in his parish. In 1558 Queen Elizabeth re-confirmed her father's mandate into law and many church records date from that year. Wimpole's own church records for baptisms, weddings and burials began in 1560.
Unless otherwise stated, the dates shown here record the date of the burial at Wimpole Parish Church, not the date of death. For practical reasons (in those unrefrigerated times), local burials were usually carried out within a few days of death.
The original spelling of names in the Registers (as transcribed) has been retained.
In England and Wales, up to 1751, the New Year began on the 25th March (Lady Day).
Information, notes, observations, and comments additional to the Wimpole Registers' text are usually shown within [square brackets] and in italics.

See also the Churchyard and Churchyard Plan pages for listings of known burials, monumental inscriptions and known locations of burials and interments.
I have compared the Layng transcript with the commercially available Cambridgeshire Family History Society version. Any
significant differences have been identified as [C: ]. Local parish records on CDs can be purchased from the society.
I would be pleased to hear from you if you can offer any additional genealogical or family information relevant to this page, especially if you possess old photographs that could be added to the more general site for those who follow. Please use the site's Contact Page in the first instance.

YORKE
The Right Honorable Charles Yorke, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain was buried Jany 28th. (Not being buried in woollen, information was made by the undertaker, and the penalty paid)
[Burials in Woollen:Two acts of Parliament were passed in the late 17th century to protect and promote the English wool trade. The first in 1660, prohibited the use of any material other than wool for burial. The second in 1678 imposed a fine of £5 for defaulters, and introduced an affidavit which had to be signed, stating that the deceased was buried in "sheeps wooll only". These acts were not repealed until 1814. Those who could afford to, sometimes made provision in their wills for the £5 to be paid, so that they could be buried 'in linen' and not suffer the ignominy of being buried in wool. - Ed]
