What reading level is Memorials of a Yorkshire Parish An Historical Sketch of the Parish of Darringto book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
) Now Richard Woodrove himself died April 26th, and was buried April 28th, 1659, an d his wife Dorothy had predeceased him, on June 23rd, 1658. Who, then, was Beatrice, his supposed daughter — and who was her mother ? The register tells us nothing of this, any more than it tells us how Mr. Richard Woodrove found it consistent with his duty as Vicar of Darrington to leave eighty children un- baptized, as his own record shows he did. One fears that he, vicar though he was, was also somewhat of a ...time-server, more disposed to fall in with the Puritan views than to do his plain duty.
Of the very few entries in the Darrington registers other than those of births, marriages, and deaths, one notes the fact that in 1737 only one parishioner died, and was buried out of it — at Kellington. Also, there was only one funeral in the parish churchyard that year — it was that of a poor woman from New Malton, probably a traveller. In 1776 the vicar — or, perhaps, the parish clerk — was sufficiently struck by the occurrence to note that on Saturday the 16th of November Joseph Wright of this town died of a Fit of the Stone at the Star Inn at Pontefract, and was buryed the next day at five o'clock of the afternoon.
