 Staveley. 



THE above register was 

 found among a varied col- 

 lection of old parochial 

 documents by Mr. R. W. 

 Crawshaw, of the Hagge, 

 for many years rector's 

 churchwarden, by whom it 

 has been handed to the 

 present rector. As above 

 stated, it extends from the 

 year 1761 to 1784, and 

 was, no doubt, continued to 

 a much later date, judging 

 from the existence of a 

 fragmentary half-sheet dated 1793. Of these intervening years, 

 however, we have no further record. 



The register is written on ordinary sized hand-made note 

 paper, in a clear, legible hand, and has evidently been most 

 accurately kept. In many cases we have not merely the description 

 of the bird, but also a minute statement as to its weight and
