The Cambridgeshire Archives and Local Studies Dept. at Shire Hall have produced an attractive set of display boards (see images below) about parish records.

These are entitled:

• The Cambridgeshire Parish Chest
• Parish Registers: from the cradle to the grave
• Churchwardens' records: a glimpse into daily life
• Tithe maps: an insight into land ownership
• Overseers of the poor: rates and rogues
• The Diocese of Ely 1109-2009

Parishes are welcome to borrow the display for parish events. The display is also available as a set of A1 laminated posters. To book either the boards or the posters contact Ros Wright at the Resources Centre, Diocesan Office (01353 652725;
