Sundry notes in the book
|
1. |
The Church rate for 1863 was five pence in the pound. |
|
2. |
In 1870 Mrs. Riley presented to the Parish a silver cup and silver paten. The old communion cup was exchanged for a bason. |
|
3. |
In 1874 the old roadway in the Churchyard was filled up, and as far as the iron gate a drain is laid, emptying into the ditch at the bottom of the Churchyard. N.B.—No one must be buried on the top of this drain. The Churchyard was consecrated on 23 October. |
Village names
The spelling of the names of the two villages has varied considerably in the centuries.
For Linby we find Lindebi, Lindeby, Lindby, Linneby, Lundeby, Lindebeia, Lynby, Lymby, Lyndby, and other variants.
For Papplewick we find Pappluic Paplevich, Pape-wich, Pappewich, Paplewicke, Paplewic (wye, wik, wyk), Paplewich, Papulwyk, Papilwik, Paplweeke, Paplique, and Paplewigg.
The "N" of Linby does not appear in the Domesday name LIDEBI, but it is interesting to note that the "L" is in the earliest name spelling of Papplewick.
