And only Anglican churches (in England) had parish registers.

Are Bishop Transcripts CofE?
Or can they be any denomination?

Bishops Transcripts

A transcript of the previous year's parish register entries sent to the Bishop (usually) at Easter.

Began in a few areas in the mid 1500s but more common practice after 1598.

On an IGI extract, I have found a christening date in 1815 with the place given as Suffolk County Bts, Suffolk, England.

But what is Bts short for? I thought it could possibly be Bishops Transcripts?
