THE following, though possibly still imperfect, is the
most complete list of Vicars, &c., that has yet been
published.-
| 1193 | Henry, clericus de Tideswelle. |
| (temp. King John) | Robert, “parson of Tideswell”. |
| [ 1232 ] | Presentation to the Church of Tideswell to be made by
Thomas Gresley in place of the prior of Lancaster. |
| (124..) | John Strange (“Extraneus” or a stranger). |
| (1245), (1254) | Alan de Harby. (An Alan, possibly the same man,
was also Vicar about 1273) Alan, Vicar of Tideswell,
presented a “small chalice of the weight, of eight
shillings” for use in Lichfield Cathedral. |
| 1273 | “Minister Ralph, Rector of Tydeswell”. Ralph de
Sempringham, Dean of Lichfield, seems to have been resident
at, or near, Tideswell, at this time. Tideswell was then
one of the most important towns in Derbyshire. King
Edward I. stayed here for some days in August, 1275, and
the old records appear to show that he had a Hunting
Lodge here. Perhaps this would account for the Dean's residence
here as Rector. (The Dean and Chapter of
Lichfield were, ex-officio, Rectors of Tideswell). |
