Notes
1)   In 1402 the Sheriffs of London arrested William, the parson of Pitsea and his servant John, who were "notorious thieves and lie in wait to kill and spoil the king's lieges as has been testified before the king and council".

2)  Marcus Sympson preached only one sermon in the year 1569 and he was ordered to procure four sermons in the year by some learned preacher and for every Sunday or Holy Day that the parishioners should miss a service he was to pay 3 farthings to the poor. Some sources gives the amount as 3s 4d.

3)  Robert Hewetson, according to the Minutes of the Archdeacon's Court, was suspected of being incontinent with his maid, Helen Tate.

4)  Roger Woodcock failed to keep any registers during his incumbency.  The first entry in the burial register records his burial in the churchyard at St. Michael's.

5)  Charles Hewitt of Greensted near Colchester left money for the poor of Pitsea.

6)  Arthur Hutton was keen ornithologist.

7)  Ernest Grevatt was responsible for the purchase in 1928 of land adjacent to the then Rectory in Rectory Road. He returned from retirement to lay the foundation stone of St. Gabriel's Church in 1965.  The adjacent residential home was named after him.

Not all the above are named on the board displayed in St. Gabriel's Church.
