The parish register of Knipton village church has a remarkable
volume amongst its records. Being as how it is Volume 1 one
feels that there was possibly great enthusiasm for the new law
of the land in keeping note of the events in peoples lives -
namely baptism, marriage and burial, but in this case the
rector has added his own notes that were of current interest to
him.
Remarks on the personality of the various people baptised or
buried, such as " a verie old and poore cottager" - "an antient
widow" etc; but also some of more general interest, such as a
note to the effect that "Belvoir towne" was burnt down 5th
November 1644, "being the gunpowder treason day" - Notices
of the memorable sea-fight with the Dutch in June 1652 and
June 1665 - in the latter of which it records that their Admiral
Opdam, was killed, and 23 ships burnt, sunk, or taken, while
we lost the Earls of Marlborough, Portland, and Falmouth;
Lord Muskerry and Mr.Robert Boyle, second son of the Earl of Cork.
In 1666 the register has a note on the Great Fire of London. A strong colony of
"Anabaptists" flourished in this parish in the 17th and 18th centuries and many entries
relate to them, of which the following piece of grim humour is a characteristic example;
"John Joanes, a Welshman, sojourner, being an Anabaptist, was permitted, not being
excommunicate, to be laid in the churchyuard by his owne associates, whose grave
flowed so with water that his corps were covered with itt. So that he was twice dipt"
(29th April 1662).
In 1694-5 is a note concerning the font. "Thomas the son of Jonathan Waite & Alice his
wife was baptised February the 14th (being then - months old and his mother then
churched and was the first baptized in the bason provided by Daniel Walton to be set
in the Font as an Apppurtenance thereunto"
In 1644 "Zacharis PARKAR of Croxton, a blacksmith being slain by a drunken souldier,
was buryed November the 30 "
