THE CHURCH. Ill 



year 1706, are so much faded in many places as to 

 preclude the possibility of going further back. The 

 names of Vicars which could be distinguished, and 

 which are signed to the parish accounts are 



J656, William Lack, Minister. 



1662, Thomas Hardwich, Vicar. 



1683, Thomas Shepherd, Vicar. 



1726, Henry Mander, Vicar. 



The Rev. James Musgrave vacated this vicarage 

 in the year 1714, and as the Rev. William Comber, 

 had been Vicar of the parish 54 years, and exchang- 

 ed with the Rev. Mr. Mander for a living in Lin- 

 colnshire, which exchange must have taken place 

 about the year 1 756, there must have been an hia- 

 tus in the list of Vicars, from the time of Mr. Mus- 

 grave to Mr. Mander. 



Amongst a number of burials relative to the 

 clergy, we have an account of Thomas Shepherd 

 Vicar, having been interred here, Jan. 19, 1706 : 

 Mrs. Rachel Shepherd, in 1713 : Rev. Robert Man- 

 sel, curate in 1744 ; and Mrs. Anne, wife of the 

 Rev. Mr. Maunder, in 1753.
