The minute books don\'t start until 1679, but the receipt books include some records from 1557-1640. The Family History Library has these London records on microfilm, (FHL BRITISH Film 1068861) and they can be ordered from Salt Lake City to be viewed at your local FHL (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Might be a total bust but you don\'t know until someone reads \'em. I\'ve had good luck shooting digital images of the microfilm & transcribing it at home. Slow going.
