Description:

A report to the Privy Council on the clergy is given by handwritten replies to questions on a printed pro-forma. Replies under the heading of Herefordshire include churches and chapels in Ewyas Lacy, which at that time were in the Diocese of St Davids: for this reason some of the clergy serving in Ewyas Lacy also served in nearby churches listed elsewhere in the report under the heading of Monmouthshire.  The information requested covers the name of incumbent and curate, place of residence of each, grounds of exemption for non-local residence, distance of residence from the church, other churches served, frequency of services and stipend.
