Dinner on

Ascension Day}
</
note

Mr. Church Warden Green then acquainted the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Vestry that some Complaints had been made concerng.
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Expence the Parish has been at on Ascension days
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
And Mr. Newton observd that it would lessen that
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Expence if no Cakes or Ribons were to be given to any
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Persons whatever, except to the Children belonging to
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
this Parish, who go round the Parish Boundaries.
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
But this method not being approvd of, Mr. Maynard
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
proposed that such Gentlemen as the Church Warden
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
should invite to dine should be desired to subscribe
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
two Shillings and six pence or five shillings each
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which was done in many other Parishes, and this
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
method he thought would be most eligible to reduce
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Expence, if approved of by the Vestry. He therefore
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
moved that an Order made May 4th. 1687 for
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
providing a Dinner on Ascension day be discharged.
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
But after some Consideration and Debate on the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Length of time which that Order had stood unrevock'd
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Motion was dropped without being Seconded.
