The Diary of Benjamin Rogers rector of Carlton, 1720-71
Benjamin Rogers was vicar of Stagsden from 1712 to 1720, when he was presented by Lord Trevor to the living of Carlton, where he remained until his death in 1771. His diary covers the years 1727 to 1752. In addition to clerical duties, he records his family, friends, farming, travels, the weather, prescriptions for a range of ailments and injuries, Bedford borough politics, local events and people. There are also notes of tithes for 1722; malt sold to his mother; a terrier of the glebe land in Carlton; notes on local people; a list of Rogers’ glebe land and the 33 acres he rented; names of the certificates upon Chellington and Carlton files, presumably settlement certificates; the fruit trees planted around his house in 1729; recipients of money given for the poor of Chellington and Carlton in 1735 and 1737 and extracts about Stagsden, Carlton and Chellington from ecclesiatical records.
