A "List of the Incumbents of the Parish of Linslade with Dates of their Institution". This wooden table is affixed to the southern wall of the nave of St Mary's in Old Linslade. It lists all the 43 "incumbents" (i.e. vicars etc) from Henricus in 1247 in the reign of Henry III through to Charles E Dundridge who was installed in 1889 in the reign of Victoria. A second plaque (not shown here) lists the eleven later incumbents from 1907 up to 2008.
