Churchwardens

The Churchwarden was typically responsible for the management of the church, the land and property own by the church.

The Churchwarden typically arranged baptisms for foundling babies, burials of strangers who died in the parish and made payments to the poor of the parish. The churchwarden may also have acted as the Overseer of the Poor and/or the Parish Constable.

The Churchwarden accounts were documents and accounts that showed money paid from the church for goods and services, such as road repairs, the purchase of communion wine for example.
