Notes
1. The first application for this to be placed in the church was made by the Selby family to the vicar in 1988. The vicar reported this to the Parochial Church Council in December 1989, who agreed to ask for a faculty 1990. The Selbys stated that they were prepared to fund both the roundel and tablet and the movement of the Selby memorial stone from Mindrum to Kirknewton. (See Mindrum M10.01)
