This is part of the collection of the Rothbury Parish Magazine. The magazines cover the period 1889 to 1906 and 1923 to 1960. They contain articles relating to social events within the parish as well as extracts from Rothbury parish baptism, marriage and burial registers.
Many of the Rothbury parish records are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service. Previously they were kept at the church. For many years church records were stored in the Parish Chest. This tradition dates back to medieval times. The Chest would usually be found in the vestry and kept under lock and key. All church records would be stored there. For example, baptism registers, poor relief records and churchwardens accounts would all be found within the Chest.
