Church accounts of sacrament alms, 1808-9

These accounts are written in the parish registers after the 1739 marriages. They are not double-entry bookkeeping, but include notes of money given for alms at various services (left column) and by people unable to attend church through illness or infirmity (right column). The alms were used to provide bibles and prayer books (both columns).
