Symbol in burial register

[Top-of-the-hill]

   What is the meaning of circle with a cross through it, the horizontal line longer than the vertical?

[BumbleB]

Can you post a snippet of the symbol?

   I will try! I have found a few now, and they seem to be next to "gentry".

I have no idea I'm afraid, but would like to know the answer

It's not totally unlike some forms of an upper-case 'G'. Are there any of those to compare it with?

Could it be to indicate if "Buried in woollen" (or not)? What years are the burials where it appears?

[Blue70]

No idea but here are some guesses:-

Buried within the church? Buried in a crypt? Buried in a mausoleum?

In the extract you've posted at reply #5, the bit we can see of the line above records that entries up to that point were submitted at that year's visitation.

Could this be a simple visual mark to show which should be the first entry in the following year's BTs?
