Answer: Parish chest

This is the general term for the collection of records of various types that relate to happenings in an English parish. Originally a large wooden chest used to store books and documents in, which was kept in the church vestry, they were commonly in use from the medieval to the Jacobean period.
Chests were often bound with iron straps and locked with state-of-the-art (for the era) secure locks. In an era when written documents were rare and very valuable, chests were often used to store important papers for parishioners, not just church records such as baptisms, marriages, burials and others.
Nowadays such records if they are not currently in use, would have been deposited in County Record Offices, and the original chest perhaps sold. Though most medieval chests were extremely simple - some were even carved from a single tree trunk by hollowing it out - some are richly carved on the front face. Many, particularly Jacobean and Elizabethan chests, bear the date of construction carved on the front or top.
