Inside the Church

Photographs and transcriptions

Monuments and Gravestones

The graves in the church yard have been grassed over and the headstones lifted and placed close together around the edges. Some of the inscriptions are partly or wholly illegible, but many are still readable. See also Desborough Cemetery Monuments and Gravestones and Burials not at Desborough

Parish Registers

Records of baptisms, marriages and burials have been taken from three sources:

  1. from images of the Parish Registers, transcribed by me. These are the primary source, written by the vicar or curate of the day

  2. from images of the Bishop's Transcript, transcribed by me. These were copies of the Parish Register, made at the end of the year, and usually signed as accurate by the vicar or curate, and by the churchwardens. As they are copies there may be errors and omissions

  3. from transcripts provided by the Northamptonshire Record Office

I hope eventually to check all records against the primary Parish Records.
