Parish of Bosherston. Please Note that this site is still under construction. The parish of Bosherston lies within the Hundred of Castlemartin and is surrounded to the north-west and north-east by the parishes of St. Twynnells and St. Petrox. The Parish Registers for the parishes of Bosherston, St. Petrox, St. Twynnells and Stackpole Elidor have already been indexed by a former Vicar of the four parishes and I have made links to his web-site in order not to repeat the work already achieved. |
Bosherston - St. Michael.
This living is a rectory, and the patronage in 1514---the date of the earliest presentation of which there is record--was in lay hands. In 1594 the patronage was vested in Margaret Stanley (wife of Thomas Stanley, the second son of Edward, third Earl of Derby) daughter of Sir George Vernon of Haddon, as appendant to her manor of Stackpoole.---Owen's Pem.
Under the name of Stakepol Bosser this church was assessed at £8, the tenths payable to the King being 16s (£0.80).---Taxatio.
