The Records of Burials in the " God's Acre " and "Church of the Holy Trinity," Stratford-upon-Avon, from 26th March, 1558, to 20th March, 1652-3. Occupy 145 pages of the first or oldest volume of the Parish Registers (described in the volume of Baptisms issued as No. VI of the publications of the Parish Register Society, in 1897), and are of very great interest when we consider that they give us the names of venerable inhabitants of Stratford-upon-Avon and its hamlets, with whom Shakespeare must have been familiarly acquainted, whose lives and memories extended into the stirring times of the reigns of Henry VIII, Henry VII, Richard III.
