Starston, Norfolk - 1755-58 - Churchwardens Payments

Starston raised money at various times, to either support its poor (Overseers Rate) or to pay for other parish expenses (Churchwardens Rate). This was based upon the value of property which was owned by people living in and outside the parish.

This is one item from NRO document [Ref PD 119/97 and microform MF1809] and is from the Churchwardens accounts (1686-1950) for the year 1755-58.
Note that only extracts have been transcribed but this includes most items which mention surnames. Common events eg. bread/wine, some non-specific trade bills etc. have for the most part been excluded.
