I realised, looking at a picture I took in another church, that 1408 is also recorded thee followed by a gap of over 100 years, and so I would guess that there was a diocesan record made in that year, but ones for the intervening years were either not kept at all, or were lost or destroyed hundreds of years ago.
The memorial stones always fascinate me - like the poor man who survived so many battles only to die of sunstroke.
I must have a good look around the graveyard there some time, as I think there might be a number of interesting people buried there.
What's the betting that, after another couple of days of rain, you'll all be fed up with it?
