40 
Parish Weceords of Havishorn, Derbyshire. 
By THE LATE THOMAS North, F.S.A., 
ffon. Member of the Derbyshire Archeological and Natural 
Lfistory Society. 
#| MONG the papers formerly in the possession of the late 
4 ~=Rev. Morewood Gresley, Rector of Overseile, Leices- 
: tershire, and for many years one of the Honorary 
Seretaries of the Leicestershire Architectural and Archzeological 
Society, have been found some MS. Records belonging to the 
parish of Hartshorn, Derbyshire. 
I do not know how they came into the possession of my 
friend Mr. Gresley, but I have no doubt that in some way he 
rescued them from a threatened decom or a probable dis- 
persion. 
They have, very courteously, been placed in my hands for 
inspection, and they will, I hope, shortly be handed over to their 
proper owners, if they will undertake their safe custody. 
These records consist of— 
I.—A book of Churchwardens’ Accounts (with a very few years 
missing) from 1612 to 1681. 
II.—A second book of Churchwardens’ Accounts extending from 
1738 to 1810. 
III.—Constables’ Accounts from 1602 to 1636. 
1V.—Two books of Overseers’ Accounts, the first extending from 
1671 to 1700; the second from 1711 to 1777.
