Rectors.

This list has been found by the Norfolk transcribers for FreeREG, in the Shipdham register of baptisms and burials 1805-1812.

The entries from 1301 to 1754 are very similiar to those for Shipdham in Francis Blomefield's Topographical History of the County of Norfolk, Volume 10: Launditch, Loddon, Mitford, Smithdon and Taverham Hundreds, pages 243 onwards, published in 1809.

In the 1948 entry for Leonard Burleigh, Crockford's Clerical Directory, 1940, confirms "Tekenika". Tekenika is in Tierra del Fuego, and missionaries with the South American Missionary Society in the 1890s included Leonard and Nellie Burleigh.

Their registers also often contain records of adherents to other (non-C of E ) religions.

- The Incorporated Church Building Society's archive includes over 15,000 files relating to applications by parishes for grants from the Society 1818 to 1982. Their online database lists the archive contents and provides links to online copies of plans and drawings of many of the C of E churches. The society is now part of the National Churches Trust.
