I was trying to read the witnesses to Ann PURNELL's first marriage to William MANN in 1802 and could just about read Hester ....... then John ANGEL - who seems to witness a few weddings.

Then looking at her second marriage to George HILL in 1802 - James SWEET was a witness - and then realise it's Hester SWEET - who witnessed her first marriage.

I listened (on Zoom) a talk about 'The Parish Chest' and how the Church was responsible for keeping the records 16/17/18th century -  for many years, listing:  claims, causes of deaths, payment,  etc etc.  It was basically The Record Office for the Parish.

In some of the old registers on Ancestry, I have seen the population tables written in the back of the register, number of families/males/females/children and number of people engaged in occupations.

Also about the Curfew Bell (on Wikipedia) - was a bell rung in the evening (8 o'clock  in Medieval England)  a signal for everyone to go to bed - which in some areas lasted until the 18th century. The curfew bell is still rung at 8 pm every evening, St Peter's Church Sandwich.
