ARNSIDE EASTER BOOK (1845 entries)

From Kendal Archive Office file WPR/43: Arnside Easter Book, 1835-70.
Earlier Easter Dues records for Arnside are available at Kendal, but I have begun with 1845 because I hope to link the Easter Dues with the Tithe Award of that year. It can be seen that the system as practised in Arnside was quite sophisticated, with payments due to the church (at Beetham) on numerous categories of produce and other dues. I should emphasise, however, that the record-keeping was not by any means neat, with hastily-written fractions and interlinear notes; I can not, therefore, guarantee the accuracy of this abstract.

Amounts were given in shillings and pence, which I have converted to pence.
