Civil War and rector 1648-56. The Rev Richard Thompson was rector 1747-95
and gave the chalice, paten and flagon. Colonel Thornton (? of Allerton
Park) was then patron of the living and sold it in 1794; it then came to the
Rev James Geldart who was succeeded by his son and grandson, one of whom was
responsible for the extensive restorations in 1849 and 1874. Anon, Parish
