Church Commissioners

These records were deposited by the Church Commissioners, a modern amalgamation of the former Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, on fourteen separate occasions between 1967 and 1979. They were deposited at the County Record Office as being broadly corresponding closely in scope and focus to the parish church records for the Diocese of Ely deposited there, records of the Commissioners landed estates being largely deposited at the Cambridge University Library. Most of these records derive from the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty's interest in improving the living conditions of the parochial clergy.
