Notes for Alice FOSTER
From Bernard Allen
I have also managed to track down one of the missing diaries of William Phillipps which is in the Senate House Library, in which he writes as well as many other entries,' My dear mother in law Mrs Alice Cotterell departed this life March ye 2? 1758' and 'On Sunday Dec/ber ye 17th 1758 about six in the evening my dear brother in law Mr. Edward Cotterell departed this life'.

The list of all parish records for Buckland I could find between 1629 and 1707, although it seems some years are missing.

end of Saintbury Parish Records

from https://www.willersey.org/saintbury.htm

Saintbury was founded in the 12th century. In Kelly's Directory of 1923, Saintbury was described as a village and parish, 3 miles south from Honeybourne station on the Great Western railway, 30 north-east from Gloucester and 3 miles west from Chipping Campden. When you stand and look at the view from St.Nicholas' Church you are on the north-western edge of the Cotswold oolitic limestone hills. Looking west the land falls away to the Vale of Evesham and beyond to the River Severn. This flat land with its deep loam soils, by way of Willersey, Childswickham, Aston Somerville and Sedgeberrow is a fertile bed, which has yielded fruit, vegetables and honey for centuries.

In 1712, Saintbury was recorded as having 54 houses with a population of 200 and in 1762 31 houses and a population of 138. As of the 2011 census, it had 151 houses and a population of 278 of which 142 were female and 136 male. Do notice the decline in the number of residents per house.

The Church of St Nicholas was described as “a building of stone in the Norman and later styles, consisting of chancel, nave, transepts, north porch and a tower with a spire.” The east window retains some ancient stained glass, representing St Nicholas. It was restored 1907-1913. The parish records of baptisms date from 1561, of marriages from 1585, and of burials from 1603. The living was then a rectory in the gift of Capt. H.C.J. Alston-Roberts-West, R.N. and had been held since 1900 by the Rev. Richard Muriel Nason M.A. of Magdalene College, Cambridge. There is an ancient cross at the bottom of the village. The church's earliest known feature is a sundial considered to be 11th century. The early finely carved box pews are an 18th-century addition and there is a notable collection of 17th and 18th century ledger slabs in the church.
