  • Constables
  The parish constable had to be a person of some substance else he might be dismissed by the Justices as an ‘insufficient person’ and another put in his place. He was responsible for much of the local administration of the militia and the licensing of inns, serving court orders, apprehending criminals, taking them to court, and escorting paupers on the way to their places of settlement. He collected county and national taxes such as the hearth and land tax and was supposed to superintend ‘the Town Armes’, a stock of weapons kept in the church for the use of the militia in emergency. His duties were taken over by the county police in the mid-19th century.
