 The register dates from the year 1565, and is in excellent preservation; it is, however, singularly devoid of those touches of interest and of parochial and family gossip which many of these early registers contain. It is headed

Registrum

Omnium Baptizytorum Defunctoru

Et Conjugatorum in Ecclesia parochial

de Saundersted in Comitat Surr

ab &moddit; Anno Millesimo Quingentisimo

Sexagesimo Quinto

1565.

It is signed at the end of the first page, Anthonius Batten, Rector; Thomas Stynte, John Basset, Churchwardens.

In the Appendix will be found the entries relating to the principal families. The following miscellaneous extracts are perhaps worthy of record:—

John Grimes was Rector of Saunderstedd twenty years, and then resigned, 11 July 1778.
