General Notes

#
Jasper Rdydysdale, husbandman, was a churchwarden of Boxford 1542-3 and 1547-8. During the period 1540 to 1550, he was paid various sums for loads of straw, clay, gravel and carriage of lead to the church. These must have been for repair of
church property, the lead certainly for the church roof. He helped to organize a church ale (money making social gathering) in 1544. In 1548 he bought a blue linen cloth from the church for 2s. He also received rent money from the church for
the church house - 1d. in 1544. He rented a house at Hagmer from the church for 12s.
# Note: He had sisters Agnes, Christine Egle and Margery Skott.
