ffranncis Wayringe Clerke Master

of Arts was buried July xxij ^th

Notes:

xxij = 22
Clerke means he was a Clergyman

ADDED:

The s on Arts isn't clear.  However the word itself is clear and used in this context is almost always plural.

Good morning horselydown86,

thank you for your quick response and transcription.
I'd not considered an occupation being mentioned.  From the start of the register - 1600 - this is the first time an occupation as been noted.
I thought 'Arts' might have read 'Auty' which is a local family in the area.  I can see that I was wrong with that assumption.

Regards,

Janet
