There is also a paten of the latter date. A flagon weighing 54 ounces was given to the church by the bachelors and maidens of the borough in 1688, and another was given in 1724. Curiously they are both fitted with whistle-handles. There are also two cut-glass cruets, said to be of the fifteenth century. =The Church Registers.=--These date from 1559, containing baptisms to 1598 and marriages to 1574, but are copies on parchment
