Archive Records at All Saints' Church, Walsoken.

All Saints' registers date from 1558 and comprise baptism, wedding and burial records.  Most of these registers are now deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum and may be viewed by telephoning the Museum on 01945 583817. In addition to these the Museum holds on our behalf.... Poor Law records, the enclosure award, highways records, Parish Constable and Dyke Reeve records.

Still housed in the Parish Chest in the church are baptism and wedding registers dating from the 1860’s to the present day together with Banns of Marriage registers from the same period.

Burials at All Saints' stopped in 1883 when a new cemetery was begun adjacent to the churchyard.  This cemetery is the responsibility of Fenland District Council who should be contacted for any information relating to burials after 1883.  All Saints' has just one Burial register containing a few entries from 1875-1883.  The churchyard was closed by Order in Council in 1971 and many of the gravestones were removed.

The records still kept at All Saints may be viewed by contacting the Rector or Peter Wadlow Churchwarden.  A small charge is levied.
