To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


This entry for 1752 reminds us of the improvement effected by the alteration of the calendar " N. S. (new style) year begins I Jan. " The words of the Act by which the alteration was made read quaintly now. After recit- ing " that the legal supputation of the year . . . According to which the year beginneth on the 25 day of March, had been found by experience to be attended with divers inconveniences, it was enacted that the said supputation should not be made use of from and after the last day
... of December 1751, and that from thence- forth the first day of January every year should be reckoned the first day of the year. " One can now hardly realise that the year used to begin on March 25, so that New Year's Day and Lady Day were the same.
At the Easter meeting in 1753, it was agreed that Elizabeth the daughter of William Newson should be " cloathed with a pair of shoes, a shift, a jacket, and a 179 N 2 180 DIPPING FOR LAMENESS petty coat. " Happily for Elizabeth summer was coming on.
An odd minute occurs in the minute book for 13 November of that year 1753 : " It was agreed that James Goleby the overseer, provide a place to dip Ann Clark in order to recover her of her lameness ; and that he provide her with such necessaries as are needfull during the time of diping ; and that he give an account of the success thereof to the Parishioners as soon as occasion require.
