Notes: |
a.r. = affidavit received.
An act was passed (1667-68) in the reign of Charles II for the express
purpose of increasing the consumption of English wool. It was stated
that "No corps should be buried in anything other than what is made of
sheep's wool only; or put into any coffin lined or faced with any material
but sheep's wool, on pain of forfeiture of £5." and an affidavit to that
effect was required not later than 8 days after the burial.
Although the Act was not repealed until 1814, its use gradually died out
during the 18th Century. In Calstock registers, no record of individual
receipt was made before 1707 or after 1735.
The following note appears
after the burial records for 1707 and is signed by Thomas Hullah, Rector:
"It appears that the Register of Burials between March 1707 and April 1716
are lost."
