The Church wardens Reported to the Vestry

were in so very Ruinous and bad Condition that the Said Gallerys
were in Great danger of Falling.

That Upon Digging under the said Gallerys it Appeared to
[..] em by the Judgment and opinion of Workmen that a Comodiens
[..] ault might be made under the Lane for the Burrying of the dead
[..] hich would be very beneficiall and Advantagious for the Parish

Whereupon It is Ordered and Agreed That a Vault be
made under that said Gallerys accordingly to extend From the old
[..] ller to the West Wall and if thought convenient to mate the
Vault larger towards the North Side and which Vaults are to be
[..] the Equall benefit of the whole parish

Ordered and Agreed that the Church Wardens Do Forthwith
obtain a Faculty for the Purposes aforesaid.
