The fifteenth volume of the Registers of the Diocese of Hereford now completed, contains the Registers of Diddlebury and Munslow. Both are of great interest, because of the impoitance of these parishes in the past and the numerous families of position that occur in these Registers. Munslow also is one of six remaining Shropshire Registers which began in pre-Reformation times, and its original "paper book" is preserved, as well as the parchment copy made from it in 1600.
In the present volume, as has been the rule adopted by the Council throughout, the Registers are not printed in full, but in an abbreviated form which can readily be understood, though every salient fact has been recorded, and all occurrences, remarkable events, etc., have been given in full.

A capital letter after "of" or "p." denotes the parish whose particular Register is dealt with ; thus " of D. " = " of Diddlebury," and " p. M. " = " parish of Munslow."
For the transcription of these Registers, the Society is indebted to Mr. G. Wm. S. Sparrow, Mr. T. R. Horton, and the Rev. W. G. D. Fletcher, and for collating to Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Fletcher.
The word "pauper" affixed to many nanies does not necessarily imply poverty, but that the duty imposed by Act of Parliament on the registration of baptisms, marriages, and burials was not paid.
It might be well to point out that these printed volumes are not Ugal evidence of any baptism, marriage, or burial ; but for entering up a pedigree in the College of Arms, or for any legal purpose, certified extracts must be obtained from the incumbents. The statutory cost of each certified entry is 3s. yd.

Diddlebury is a parinh on the river Corve, situated eight miles north of Ludlow. It is in the Diocese of Hereford, the Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery of Ludlow, and the Hundred of Munslow. The parish has an area of 8,690 acres, and it contains the hamlets of Diddlebury, Westhope, Middlehope, Corfton, Sparchford, Ermestry Park, Great and Little Sutton, Lawton, Peaton, Bromcroft and Poston. The population in 1901 was 709.
At the time of the Domesday Survey, Diddlebury formed part of the Manor of Corfham, which was held of the King by Earl Roger. The Earl granted the Church of Diddlebury to Shrewsbury Abbey. In the year 1 147, a general settlement took place as to property in dispute between Shrewsbury Abbey and the Norman Abbey of Seez, and the Church of Diddlebiu-y was granted to Seez. About 100 years later, the Abbot of Seez gave Diddlebury Church to the Dean and Chapter of the Diocese of Hereford, to whom the patronage of the living still belongs.
The Register consists of the following volumes : —
Vol. I., 1583 to 1598. A book of 35 paper pages bound in cardboard, containing baptisms, marriages, and burials. It is probable that there was formerly an earlier part of this volume.
Vol. II. contains burials of 1678 — 9, and a list of parochial elections and Church collections from 1686 to 1750. This volume consists of 20 pajx^r pages in a parchment cover. A copy of this book was made in 175 1, and in it the record of parochial elections is coii tinned to the year 1879.
Vol. Ill, 1683 to 1733, consists of 80 parchment pages, not boimd. It contains baptisms, marriages, and burials.
Vol. IV., 1734 to 1748, has 48 pages ; Vol. V., 1749 to 1786, has 60 pages.
These two volumes are of parchment, bound in parchment-covered boards. Each contains baptisms, marriages and burials.
Vol. VI., 1754 to 1808. This is a marriage register, of 140 paper pages, boimd in leather.
Vol. VII., 1808 to 1812. A marriage register of 16 parchment pages, bound in leather.
Vol. VIII, 1787 to 1812. This is a large, leather-bound volume of parch- ment pages. Baptisms are entered at one end of the book and burials at the other, on printed forms.
With the exception of the third volume, which has suffered much damage, the whole of the Register is in a good state of preservation. The binding of the sixth volume is dilapidated. The entries throughout appear to have been made carefully. It will, however, be noticed that the Register of the years 1599 to 1683 is no longer in existence, and that there are several gaps in the earlier part of the third volume. Tlu-ough the courtesy of the Diocesan Registrar, the Bishop's transcripts at Hereford have been placed at the service of the Society ; these transcripts are printed here from their commencement in 1661 down to 1683, and gaps have been filled, and differences between the Register and the transcripts noted in subsequent years to the end of 1753.
ir. DiDDLXBTJBT RlQISTIRS.
The principal families mentioned in the Register are those of Baldwyn and Comewall, but the following names also are marked by some such addition as ' Mr.,' ' Gent.', or ' Esq.' : — Lutley, More, Langley, Syars, Walcot, Pulley, Stedman, Jervis, Fleming, Turnor, Jordan, Lucas, Browne, Harries, PoweU, Jones, Hajmes, Davies, Legass, Hammonds, Sheppard, Acton, Wilkes and Palmer.
Richard Baldwjni, buried at Diddlebury in 1585, was tenth in descent from John Baldwyn, of Diddlebury, and Anne his wife. A great-grandson of this Richard was Thomas Baldwyn, of Diddlebury, Recorder of Shrewsbury, admitted a Burgess in 1660. From the second son of Richard Baldwjm were descended the Baldwyns of Elsich, Stokesay, Rockleton and Aqualate, among whom may be mentioned Sir Samuel Baldwyn, bom in 161 8, and his brother Sir Timothy, bom in 1620.
Sir Samuel held Stokesay Castle for the King during the Civil War. He was M.P. for Ludlow, 1658, and afterwards became King's Sergeant (Attorney- General). He died in 1683, and was buried in the Temple Church. His great grandson, Charles Baldwyn, M.P. for Shropshire, married Catherine Childe, of Kiulet, whose son William assumed the name of Childe.
Sir Timothy Baldwyn, D.C.L., was elected a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, in 1639. He was an enthusiastic Royalist, and was for a short time deprived by the Parliament of his fellowship. At the Restoration he was made principal of Hart Hall, now Hertford College, but after holding office for two years he became Chancellor of the Dioceses of Hereford and Worcester. He was knighted in 1670.
The Baldwins of Munslow, and through them the Baldwins of Shrewsbury, were descended from a cousin of the Richard Baldwin of^Diddlebury mentioned above.
Richard Baldwyn, a descendant of the Recorder of Shrewsbury, sold the Diddlebury estate in 1752 to Captain Frederick Comewall, a relative of the Comewalls, Barons of Burford. Captain Comewall had two sons ; Frederick Walker, M.P. for Ludlow, and Folliott Herbert Walker, successively Bishop of Bristol, Hereford, and Worcester. The Bishop was buried at Diddlebury in 1831.
The burials of three centenarians are recorded in the Register, one of whom reached the age of 106.
The Church of St. Peter is of Saxon foundation. The North Wall of the nave and part of the tower are Saxon, the former containing a Saxon window. The chancel dates from the Norman period. An early- English arcade separates the aisle from the nave. Mr.D.H.S. Cranage, in ' 'The Churches of Shropshire," Bays that Diddlebury Church " has examples of almost every style of English architecture." There are several memorial tablets of members of the families of Baldwin, Cornwall, Fleming, Powell and others. The following record events which took place in those periods of which the Register has been lost : —
Mary, wife of John Bawdewin, of Middlehope, gent., died Nov., 1659. Henry Fleming, of WVsthope, Esq., died 1650, aged 52. Thomas, eldest son of Richard Bawdewin, of Diddlebury, and Margaret his wife, daughter of Lawrence Ludlowe of Morehou.se, married Gertrude, daughter of Robert Corbet of Stanwardino, by whom he had three sons, Edward, John, and Richard, and two daughters, Dorothy and Susanne, and died 1614, aged 68.
There were formerly six Chapels in Diddlebury, viz. : — Corfham, Corfton, St. George in Sutton, WeHthojK', the ChajH?! of (Jreete in Poston, and the Chapel of Mcrcham, or Marston. A seventh Chapel, at Siefton, was probably within the parish of Diddlebury.
I
DlDDLIBtTBY RbOISTBRS. V.
Mention of Corf ham Chapel occurs as early as 1299, and the chaplains included John Davyes, " Perpetual Chaplain of the Free Chaj)cl within the Castle of Corfhani " till 1388, Thomtis Chykenhulle, died 1422, and Roger — , presented 29th Dec, 1422, by John Talbot, Lord of Corfham.
Corfton Chapel was dedicated to St. Bartholomew. By a deed of 1260, William de Furches, Lord of the Manor of Corfton, surrendered the patronage of the chapel to the Dean and Chapter of Hereford, but he reserved to himself and his heirs ' ' the due service of the said Chapel of Corfton by a fit and resident Chaplain." In 1635, William Keynian, ' 'commissionary and official ' ' of the Bishop of Hereford, issued a mandate which states that the Chapel of Corfton is in a ruinous state, and requires Peter Mease, Kit-hard Awnshara (Rector of Hopesay), and Ceorge Littleton (Rector of Munslow), to discover who is liable for the repair of the Chapel. The three commissioners, after holding an enquiry, replied that the Vicar of Diddlebury ought to repair the Chancel, and that tlie inhabitants of Corfton were liable for the repair of the Chapel. Roger — , was Chaplain of Corfton in 1252. Wakes were kept here the Sunday after Lammas Day. The Chapel of Corfton is frequently mentioned in the marriage register of the latter half of the i8th century. Parts of the walls are still visible in some farm buildings, but they do not seem to be of any great antiquity, though it is probable that they are upon the site of the original Chiipol of Corfton, a mediaeval, carved stone having been discovered here recently.
Alexander, the Chaplain of Sutton, was enfeoffed in a virgate by Robert de Sutton in 1225. He died in 1247. The Hundred Roll of 1255 mentions Johanna and Lucia, daughters of Alexander, the Chaplain of Sutton. William, Chaplain of Sutton, was appointed as warranty to Johanna and Lucia in 1256. On Nov. i6th, 1272, Thomas de Cantilupe issued a mandate to induct John de Hodenet to the custody of the Church of Sutton, reserving the institution for the Bishcp ; but John de Hodenet was actuall}' instituted on Feb. 19th, 1279, by the Prior and Convent of Weulock. Wakes were kept here on jNIidsummer Day.
Westhope Chapel is mentioned in the Williams MSS. as existing in 1255, when John Fitzalan, Lord of Clun and Westhope, was Patron of the Chapel. In 1277, Hugo, Rector of Westhope, was granted licence for one year to study. In 1327, the Chapel of Westliope, in the Deanery of Wenlock, was taxed six marks, and three years later the Chapel was valued at thirteen pence, having goods worth eleven shillings. In Certificates of Colleges, 1461, the Chapel was valued at eleven pence. The Chapel was spoliated by Act of Parliament of 1548. The Certificate of Sir George Blount, Knt., Reynolde Corbett, Richard Forsett, and Richard Cupper, Commissioners, Nov. 4th, 1549, states: — "The Chappell of Westhope within the sayd parishe of Dudlebury, valued at Xld., payments nil. Remaining Xld., no Incumbent, To the pore nil, goods lis." In the Particulars of Grants of 1549, the following reference occurs: — "The Chappell of Westhope. Rent of one baulk of arable land in tenure of Robert Busse id. Rent of one acre of pastmre land called Chappell Meadow in tenure of William Lewis, mid. Rent of the aforesaid Chappell with parcel adjacent called Chappell Yarde in the tenure of William Wall, vjd. At 23 years purchase 22/-. There are no other lands or tenements to the said Chappell, belonging as yt is presented ; there be no wodes growing upon any of the sayd premises, dated the last day of February, 1549. The King's Majesty discharges the purchasers of all incumbrances except leases and the covenants of the same. The tenure is socage. The purchaser to have the issues from Michaelmas last. The Purchaser to be bounde for the Woddes. The leade bells and advowsons excepted." In 1549, John Cowper and Richard Trevor request to purchase the rent of the Free Chapel of Westhope, and a grant from the King, dated at Lieghes, loth April, 1549, was made " to John Cupper and Richard Trevor, in consideration

of £3,050 — 13 — 9, for Church property indudiug the Chapel of Westhope, with a parcel of Und adjoining called ChappoU Yard, and lands and tenements in several holdings to hold them in socage." lu Particulars of Grants, 1552, we find, ' ' The rent of the Chappol of Westhope, with parcel adjacent called Chappell Yardi', in the tenure of William Wall, value 6d. There is no other lands of the sayd Chappell to yt ; " and, in the same year, "John Cowper and Richard Trevor purchased the rent of the Free Cliappell of Westhope with lands pertaining to it." The Chapel is mentioned in Certificates of Colleges, dated 1558 and 1603. A deed of 1650 mentions " The ChapjHjll of Westhope auad the Chappell Meadow," and in a deed of 1707 there is reference to " all the Chappell or building called a Chappell in Westhope with the appurtenances. The Manor, Dovehouse and Chappell." The Chapel had evidently fallen into disrepair once more, and in her will, dated 14th January, 1728, Mrs. Elizabeth Fleming states : "If my son Richard Fleming rebuilds the Chappell of Westhojje, and fits it up for the service of God within four years, then I give to endow it the £100 that is in ilartin's liands, with the interest at the four years end iifter ray decease ; but if the Lord of the Manor of Westhope should bo remiss in liaving it supplied with 12 sermons in the year, then the profits of it shall goe to the parish of Acton Scott, for that purpose and no other. But if my son Richard Fleming fail to rebuild it within that time, then the £100 with the interest to be equally divided between my two sons Gilbert and Hector Fleming. To the Schools of the parish of Diddlebury £10 — if the children of the Lordship of Westhope shall be taught free."
The Chapel of Westhope was restored in 1728 — 29, and in 1745 Edward Fleming was patron of the Chapel. A paper written about a century later states : ' ' The Chapel of Westhope is private property ; it stands in an orchard. The proprietor gives £5 a year to the Vicar of Diddlebury to give his or her tenants 12 evening services in the year. It is kept clean by the tenants in turn, who have also the care of the key." Frederick, Baron von Zandt (died 1841) gave a now pulpit. The late Colonel Swinnertoa Dyer restored the Chapel in 1891, rebuilding the walls from four feet above the ground level. The old foundations reach a depth of eleven fe«t below the ground. Much of the woodwork was too far decayed to be used again, but the roof is a copy of the old one. The building contains a Saxon font, which was discovered in 1908. Among the many Chapels in Diddlebury, that of Westhope is the only one now in use. The present patron is Mr. Leonard Swinncrton-Dycr.
The Chapel of Greet in Poston is enumerated among the possessions of Johane, daughter of Sir William Burley of Bromcroft, who died in 1505. This Chapel is probabl}' identical mth that of Greete, near Tenburj'. Richard Kene, who died in 1250, gave half a virgate in Possetorne in pure alms to the Greet Chapel, of which Philip do Thongland was incumbent. The reader is referred to the Preface of Greete Register for further information regarding the Chapel.
The tithes of the Chapel of Mershton, or Marston, were the subject of prolonged disputes between the Dean and Chapter of Hereford and other claimants. The following order made by Edward I. is taken from the Williams MSB. : " FMward, by the Grace of God King of England. The Dean and Chapter of Hereford have pointed out to us that the Church of Dedelbur has been canonically assigned to them, and although the greater tithe from certain lands within the bounds of the Church of Dedelbur Ix-long to them in their own name and as Rectors of the same — i messuage and 5 acres of land which Alexander de Mershton held while ho lived — i messuage and half a virgate of land which Alexander the Clerk held, — I messuage and half a virgate which W^illiam Wrinch held— i messuage and half a virgate of land which Walter de Yongeland held — i messuage and one and a half virgate of land which Hugo le Holyman held — i messuage and one and a lialf virgate of land which William de Trcwesliipc held within the to^^ne of Dedlebur. Richard

de Beck, Parson of the Chapel of Mershton, robbed it of two parts of the tithes. These have been restored to the Dean and Chapter, but Robert de Thene now holds the Chapel of Mershton on his own presentation and advow- son. The Dean and Chapter claim two parts of the advowson. Nothing is to be done in an ecclesiastical Court till the case is heard in the King's Court. Dated 8 Dec. 9 of our reign." In the following year Sir Robert de Beck brought the matter to the notice of the King again, and at " Karlisl," on the 8th July, Edward I. once more forbade the ecclesiastical Court to proceed in the matter, asserting that " the decision as to the advowsons of Chapels belongs to the Crown and to our dignity." In December, 1334, Richard de Bek, Rector of the Free Chapel of Merschton, the son of Robert de Bek. Knight, unsuccessfully disputed the right of the Dean and Chapter of Hereford to the tithes of Mershton. His successor, Robert de Tene appealed in 1335, but was non-suited because he could not prove that ho had been canonically instituted. An inquisition post mortem of 1505, of Johane, widow of Sir Thomas Littleton, Knt., and co-heir of Sir William Burley of Bromcroft, Knt., shows that the said Johane held the Manor and Chapel of Merston. Edward, son of Edward Littleton of Shrewsbury, was Rector of the Chapel of Merston in 1689. No trace of this Chapel now remains.
The parish Church of Diddlebury has four bells : —
1. All prayse and glory be to God for ever. 1665.
2. Soli Deo Gloria pax hominibus. William Stedman, Cornelius Benions.
1665.
3. Edward Baxter, Thomas Bluck, Wardens. 1676.
4. John Bawdewin, of Middlohope, gent., Edward Pulley, of Peedle
[Peatoti ? ], gent., c.w. 1670.
An Inventory of Church Goods made 15th May, 1553, shows that there were then at Dydylbere " iii bellys, on chalys of selver wt. the paten therto belonging, now yn the p'yche and StepuU." There have been many gifts and bequests to the Church. By his will dated 1535, Richard Lewys of Westhope gave " to the High Altar for tithes forgotten 3/4. To our Lady Service in the parish Church of Diddlebury 6/8 and a suit of vestments." In June, 1831, Bishop Corncwall gave 'i, set of Communion plate, in place of the old plate which had been stolen in March of the same year.
The account here given of the Chapels in Diddlebury is based entirely upon information supplied by Mrs. E. H. Martin of WesthojMj, who has also given the following list of the Incumbents of Diddlebury.
