 Easter Tuesday, April .5th, 1831, an objection to the Church rate was

 the Township of Hothersall. And it was agreed that an enquiry 

 should be made with a view to it being fairly adjusted if any alteration 

 should appear equitable."

 in the Vestry room of the Parish Church, on Easter Tuesday, April 

 10th, 1855, it was resolved that the late Eingers be not re-elected,

 churchwardens be authorised to provide as best may be done for the 

 Eingers for Divine Service."
