This is an extract taken from the Felton parish churchwardens' account book, 1697 - 1768. Following a visit to the parish by the Archdeacon in 1763, a list of repairs and improvements was drawn up. Repairs, such as the levelling of flagstones in the centre aisle and repairs to the church roof were identified.
Many of the Felton 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.
