Rectors and Churchwardens 1287-1977
This is a chronological list of those who have served our parish church from the earliest records. The list is far from complete as it relies on the survival of the documentary sources. The rectors served until the institution of the next name, except where a row of stars (********) is shown, which indicates a break in the records.
There are two parish clerks also mentioned: Alex Sedcomp (1527) and Francis Treadwell (1796).
