Notes on the Recetors of Staveley. 
By Rev. J. CHARLES Cox. 
INCE the publication of the first and fourth volumes 
of the Churches of Derbyshire, which contain some 
account of the church and rectors of Staveley, certain 
additional notes have come into my hands respecting 
the Incumbents, chiefly through the courtesy of the Rev. J. D. 
Macfarlane, the present rector. The following is as complete a 
list of the rectors and patrons as I have been able to compile. 
Most of the notes are from theyen, of that painstaking genealogist, 
the late Mr. Swift, of Sheffield, and were written in the year 1848 ; 
his initials, W.S., are given in brackets after the paragraphs for 
which he is responsible. 
I. (circa) 1280. Nicholas Musard. 
II. 1300. Thomas de Querle; patron, the King, as 
guardian of the heirs of Nicholas Musard. On 
the death of N. M. 
III. 1309. Robert de Wodehouse, sub-deacon, placed in 
custody of the living, then sequestered, by man- 
date of the archdeacon. Patron, Ralph de 
Frecheville. _ 
IV. 1315. John de Horson (?); patron, Ralph de Freche- 
ville. On the resignation of R. de W.

de Crombewell.
