rel 14 St. Peter’s Church Stoke marriages 1703-1752.

This fact points to the situation of Church as being a site for early Pagan worship and chosen clearly for its direct location adjacent to a ford across the River Trent. It is from this period that this short account commences which include notes re the first Saxon Church, its dates, history, description followed by the Norman Church which hand in 1876 the two Norman arches re-erected from their remains were found in the water flow to the Rectory Mills.
It continues to describe the churchyard and its history of important graves, the ancient parish registers and Stoke Hall the first rectory with a moat around it and loads more. Nine Pages A4 with lots of photographs.

I must have spent hours in researching this material of all those who are listed on the church WW 1 memorial, plus others from Penkhull for whatever reason were not listed.

The list of seventeen pages long  is compiled in alphabetical order and under each name is given the age, under which body ther served under with full military details of their record and well as family details where possable and home address.

For those searching family histories this is a welcome addition to assist in your research.

This is in the form of a Spredsheet set in Excel listing the Baptism registers for Penkhull Primative Church from 1878 – 1937.

Great help for those researching their family tree.
