Notes:
*1 Archbishop Sharp says, " Neither do I here put in Hinderskelf, because this Church is now disused, and I doubt ruinous ; and it is, it seems, doubtful whether it be a parish or no." -MS., vol. iii. page 5.*2 The Steward returned in 1818, that he was unacquainted with the existence of any peculiar jurisdiction, although the Keeper of the peculiar jurisdiction of Hinderskelfe is mentioned in the Archbishop's list of Peculiars; but the Steward had no wills in his custody which had been proved in the Manor Court, neither was he aware that any such were extant.
