A COMPLETE LIST OF THE BRIEFS
As entered separately in the Churchwardens' Book from 1686 to
1722.
A BRIEF, generally called the King's Brief,
was a writ (Breve) from the Privy Council, not from the Bishop, ordering
collections to be made for specific objects such as building churches to
replace those destroyed by fire, relieving suffering by fire, refugees,
"suffering Protestants abroad" etc. The Brief was generally read in Church.
The collection seems often to have been made from house to house. A
considerable number were for losses by fire.
(After the first two entries the repetition of the introductory wording of
the entries and of the names of the vicar and Churchwardens is avoided here.
The lists of vicars and Churchwardens previously given supply the names of the
latter under each successive year. The first three entries should be read
1685-86, in accordance with the division into Legal and Historical Year then
existing).
