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.
