Note. – The Registers, on vellum, are contained in three small volumes. Nos. 1 and 3 in the original parchment, No. 2 in rough calf. The writing is singularly clear and well preserved. The earliest entry is dated 1698, and it is probable that an earlier volume has been lost or destroyed.
Where the names of Parishes are not given, the persons are resident in that of Ozleworth.
The entries have been transcribed by the Rev. J. Nowill Bromehead, Rector of Beverston. The pages of Vols. 1 and 2 are unnumbered.
