St Peter, Little Comberton, Worcestershire
List of Incumbents and Rectors 1331 - 1997

 Index
There are two wooden boards in the church; the first board has gilt lettering, the second board uses red, white and black paint.

The first board. A photograph showed considerable differences in the reflectivity of the gilt, suggesting that the names up to 1885 had been written on the board at one time, with subsequent names and dates being added on on several occasions. The name for 1664 had been added at the bottom of the board; I would guess from the reflectivity on the photograph, that this was after the board had first been erected, but before the first additional name was added for 1898. That entry has been placed in its corect date order in the listing below.
