ROLL OF SEATHOLDERS
St Bartholmew's Church, Whittington
[Recorded on March 23, 1867]

Note: the list as supplied was dated 23rd March 1867, but it is believed this relates to an evaluation of the Roll, as evidence from other documents suggests the Roll itself relates to a much earlier period, around 1686/7. Specifically, the Churchwardens named towards the end of the list - Henry LOWE and John WEBSTER - were recorded in a list of Parish Officials for 1686,. but these two names do not appear together as Churchwardens again until 1731. And John AKRODE (an unusual surname) who is cited as having written the old roll, is mentioned as recently deceased (‘late Mr ACRODE’) in a Roll of the Seats in Brampton Church for the years 1637 & 1707. [Ed: He was buried at Old Brampton on 3rd November 1705]
