The Registers for this parish prior to 1812 consist of three volumes.

Volume 1 is of parchment, bound in leather, consisting of 30 leaves, and measures 15 1/4 in. by 5 3/4 in. It includes Baptisms, Weddings, and Burials from 1568-1746. It is in fair condition, having apparently been rebound in 1693.

Volume 2 is of parchment, bound in vellum, consisting of, and measures 13 in. by 8 in. It contains Baptisms and Burials from 1748 to 1782, and Marriages from 1748 to 1751. It is in good condition.

Volume 3 is of the usual printed forms. It extends from 1754 to 1812, and contains the Marriages of the two parishes of Oldbury and Didmarton. [Modern note - available on separate page]

These extracts have been made by the Rev. W. Symonds, late rector of Sherston.
