Transcriber's notes
The additional information beginning "The Rev Mr Lyon" is written in faint red ink across several columns, but appears to refer to the modes of spelling.That part of Description beginning "In the vicinity" is written across all columns at foot of page but seems intended as part of Description and has been transcribed there.
