"Every parish must have a history, every parish has a register, every person has a parish."

Bishop Stubbs

These all are gone, their little day is o'er,
They laugh, they weep, they sport, they toil no more;
Their feet are still, and others in their room
With busy step are hurrying to the tomb.
We, in our turn, to others shall give place,
And others yet come forth to run the race;
And yet that race by others shall be run
Till time is over and the world is done.

From the Burton Latimer Registers, 1823-24
