  Notes	His activities are traced in Boxford Churchwardens' Accounts 1530-1561 (Peter Northeast, ed., Suffolk Records Society, 23[1982]) and are summarized on page 90 of that work. Jasper Riddlesdale, husbandman, was a churchwarden of Boxford in 1542-3 and 1547-8 (p.90). During the period 1540 to 1550, he was paid various sums for loads of straw, clay, gravel, and for carriage of lead to the church -- 2d. in 1547 (p.51). These must have been for repair of church property, the lead certainly for the church roof. In 1541 he helped to organize a church ale [a money-making social gathering involving the provision of food, drink, and entertainment] (p.35). In 1548 he bought a blue linen cloth from the church for 2s. (p.52). He also received rent money from the church for the church house -- one penny in 1544 (p.44). He rented a "town howse" at Hagmer from the church, at one time owing 12s. rent (p.54). According to his will, he had sisters Agnes, Christine Egle and Margery Scott.
