Description
The first legible entry in the first register is from 1635, but an earlier register must have been in existence before 1831 because a large number of extracted entries have been made commencing in 1546. A break occurs between 1699 and 1708; probably some leaves were lost.
For a description of the registers, see also “Stapleton Registers” (1900), in the first volume of Shropshire parish registers. Diocese of Lichfield.
