Bucklebury
There is one farthing issued from the village of Bucklebury. In the former edition of Boyne this Bucklebury token was erroneously noted as No. 355 of the London series, being entered under the parish of Bucklersbury. The issue of it from the parish of Bucklebury, in Berkshire, cannot, however admit of doubt. I have in my collection one which came from Bucklebury, and the Vicar of Bucklebury, the Rev. T. W. Watts, informs me that he finds in his parish register an entry of the marriage of JOHN MORECOCK with JANE KNAPPE, dated 25th August, 1645. |

| This family did not remain long in the parish. The entry of marriage as above noted is the only one; there is no subsequent record of either baptism or burial. |
