Registry of Gamekeepers 1797 - 1814
|
From 1784 to 1807 all persons qualified to kill or sell
game, including the manorial gamekeepers, registered with the Clerk of
the Peace who issued a licence for which they paid a fee.
Normally it was the Lord of the Manor who applied for the
licence by appointing a gamekeeper.

A Reverend Atkinson had a licence to kill game, was he so
badly off, he had to go out and bag himself a rabbit or a brace of
pheasants?
