G'day Listers Can anyone point me to any documents, online or otherwise, that list all the Vicars, Curates, Officiating Minister's, etc, etc for St Mary's Parish Church, Boxford Suffolk. Typically, a historical list of these people would be ideal. Thanks in anticipation eddie

Hi Eddie Typically these sorts of lists of ministers etc do not exist or at least not an all encompassing one for a Parish Unless there is an OPR for Boxford (I am not aware of one) who has listed same a lot will depend upon the time frame (you don't say) and what you are looking for Directories will often list Church officials in a given area but only to a level, directories for this sort of information would start around 1820 at best there may be the odd one before that but they tend to be business based There are various ways of tracing the Clergy but again it depends upon the time frame The Clergy List or Crockfords from about 1850 onwards will list the Clergy by name and the Parish, those that are searchable can be interrogated for the Parish of interest Likewise the census will list the vicar and sometimes the church officials by roaming the location of interest for each year Stating the obvious I know but have you tried the Church itself? http://www.achurchnearyou.com/boxford-st-mary/ Although they may not have the time to do any research as such they may tell you if there is a list in the Church of previous incumbents Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > G'day Listers > > Can anyone point me to any documents, online or otherwise, that list > all the Vicars, Curates, Officiating Minister's, etc, etc for St > Mary's Parish Church, Boxford Suffolk. > > Typically, a historical list of these people would be ideal. > > Thanks in anticipation > eddie

Many of our parish churches list the Ministers on a board inside the church. We do not yet have OPRs in Suffolk, we do have Local History Recorders which pre-dates the OPR scheme. There is a Local History Recorder in Boxford, in fact as I live in the Benefice, I am pleased to report that we have LHRs in all five parishes. Pat ...

My Local church in Worlington has a board on the wall with a list of all the priests going back to 1318, so it might be possible St Mary's might have the same?
