Title	Churchwardens Account Book 1750-1887 for St Mary and St John, Rothley Parish Church
Description	The Vicar and the Church wardens of Rothley Parish Church would have been in possession of the book while it was kept, the book now rests in safekeeping of the Church’s deposit at the Records Office, Wigston. Facsimiles of the pages entered by the Churchwardens to record their everyday expenditure on church and church service upkeep, and the small number of receipts. The entries span the change that took place at the Enclosure of Rothley (1780-82). Prior to that, many entries record the business of “letting the church grass”, referring to the odd pieces of grazing in corners of the open fields that had been willed to the Church over time. At the Enclosure a 10-acre field was awarded to the Churchwardens in lieu of these prior rights, and later entries show the change. The book also covers the years 1877-79 when the church was comprehensively refurbished and partly rebuilt. An absence of entries reflects that the fact that the project costs were documented in a separate way by the Vicar. The book also has 20 pages of entries which start from the back and run forward. These are mostly of the form of Vestry Minutes in a range from 1828 to 1877.
