The arrangement has been as follows:-

In all there are 6,983 entries from 10 Jan. 1813 to 20 Apr. 1896 – i.e., 3,604 Baptisms, 727 Marriages, 2,652 Burials. From April 22, 1754, to Feb. 22, 1835, there are 351 banns of marriage. The marriages number 2,127 from 8 May 1563, to 20 Jan. 1896, being 1,400 during the period 1563-1812 – that is to say, sixteenth century marriages (1563-1600), 188; seventeenth century, 453; eighteenth century, 632; nineteenth century, (1801 to Jan. 1896), 854. The yearly average of marriages has increased from 5 in the sixteenth century, and 6 in the eighteenth, to 9 in the present century. An interesting comparison may be made by reference to the marriages, burials and baptisms in each of the following years:-

  • Baptisms … (1563) 28; (1596) 28; (1696) 34; (1796) 28; (1896) 31
  • Marriages … (1563) 8; (1596) 3; (1696) 7; (1796) 6; (1896) 11
  • Burials … (1563) 18; (1596) 33; (1696) 16; (1796) 19; (1896) 31
  • Totals … (1563) 54; (1596) 64; (1696) 57; (1796) 53; (1896) 73

The baptisms from 1813 to 1896 (May) show a yearly average of 43; marriages an average of 8, and burials of 31 during the same period.

The recorded marriages for each decade in the period 1563-1812 are as follows:-

  
1563-157038
1571-158062
1581-159049

The Registers are in an excellent state of preservation. The first “alias” occurs in 1571, the first licence in 1673, and the first recorded place in 1604. The following gaps occur among the marriages:-

First: 1616, July 22, to 1618, May 25.

Second: 1718/9 [sic], Jan. 18, to 1621, May 6.

Sixth: 1649-50, Feb. 11, to 1653, June 29.

Seventh: 1656/7, Feb. 9, to 1661, June 29.

Ninth: 1710/1, Jan. 14, to 1712, Apr. 25.

Tenth: 1741, July 23, to 1743, Apr. 16.

At the end of the second register, three pages are devoted to a list of payments for “Mortuaries”; altogether 98 persons are recorded, the period being 1753 to 1821.

The title of the first Register, as given on the first sheet of parchment, is as given below:-

“The regester booke containynge all the christninges, wedings, and burialls ffrom the yere of our Lord God one thousand ffive hundred sixtie and three – Wrytten by me, Richard Owen, clerke, curat of Cleave in the yeare of our Lord God 1598. Richard Fowler, Richard Garne and Richard Lisle then church wardens.”

There is also a quaint note in the same volume, on the page following the burials of 1711, which runs thus:-

“Memorandum that vpon ye 29th of August being the 12th Sunday after Trinity An. Dom. 1669 Thomas Restall of Stoake Orchard in ye parish of Bishops Cleeve being legally excomunicated for apparent contumacy, and so continuing for many months, by ye Rightful Worshipfull Chancellour of ye Diocesse of Gloucest’r did make humble Confession of his faults before ye Right Reverend Father in God William Lord Bishop of Gloucester, publickely in the Parish Church of Bishops Cleeve aforesaid in forme and manner as here followeth:
