Parish Registers & Archives


        The Museum is designated a parochial record office and now holds the registers for 28 parishes in 
        and around Wisbech, both in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, and also the burial registers for the Leverington 
        Road Cemetry in Wisbech.
        Many of the parishes have also deposited material from their parish chest.  These include vestry minutes  
        and accounts, poor law records, surveyors of the highways, tithe distribution and enclosure acts.

        The Museum also holds Manorial and land records for Wisbech and some surrounding parishes. The Map Collection 
        covers some local estates, tithe and enclosure awards, drainage and turnpike acts.  The Museum Library has a 
        Local History section with a subject index listing the Acts of Parliament relating to local tolls and land 
        drainage.  The Library also includes some poll books and local trade directories.
