4 HON. SECRETARY'S REPORT FOR YEAR 1958.

During the year under review the Society has held its own and made some progress in its main task—the transcription and printing of the parish registers of Staffordshire. We have unfortunately lost by death a number of old sub• scribers during the year and in this connection I would like particularly to mention the passing of our President, the Rt. Hon. The Earl of Dartmouth, who always showed a keen interest in the work of the Society. Another keen member of long standing, Mr. Norman Whitehouse, died in December last. He had con• tributed to our work and was responsible for the transcription of the Wednesbury Register. Fortunately we have gained a number of new members includ• ing several public libraries in the county and now there are very few local authorities in Staffordshire with library powers who are not supporters of our work. We are hopeful that some at least of the remainder will become members in the near future. The Bushbury Register was issued to members during the year and has been very well received. The work on Madeley register is progressing but as the transcription is taking rather longer than was anticipated, it is suggested that the register of one of tie smaller parishes in the county might be printed to fill the gap. Recently the Chillington Register has come to light in the registry of the Roman Catholic Archbishopric of Birmingham. This register covers a great part of the 18th century and contains baptisms of Roman Catholics in the Wolverhampton area. Miss M. Rowlands of Wolverhampton has kindly consented to copy it, and it is suggested that it might be included, together with the R.C. register of SS. Peter and Paul, Wolverhampton, in our list for early printing. Mr. J. S. Roper has transcribed the parish register of St. Edmund's, Dudley, and a copy is being deposited in our collection at the Salt Library. I am pleased to report on the healthy state of our funds. At the end of 1958 our credit balance at the Bank was £283 6s. 4d. Of course, if we can increase our income we can also increase considerably the amount of printing which the Society can under• take during the year.

5 INTRODUCTION by Miss Marie Rowlands. B.A.

THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF CHILLINGTON (1720-1737/1762-70) AND WOLVERHAMPTON (1791-1835)

By the Relief Acts of 1778 and 1791 Roman Catholics were for the first time since 1559 allowed to practise their religion with• out incurring legal penalties. Prior to this, Catholics were extremely chary of committing anything to paper and their registers are often fragmentary and scattered. The register of the Chapel of Chilling- ton Hall, Brewood, Staffs., is therefore of great interest, for it affords a wealth of information about the Catholic dependents, tenants and neighbours of the Giffard family in the 18th century. It was kept by the family chaplains in a small leather bound notebook, which is at present at Edgbaston in the Archives of the Archbishop of Birmingham. At the Reformation the Giffard family profited extensively from the Dissolution of the monasteries acquiring not only the neighbouring properties of Blackladies and Whiteladies but also properties formerly belonging to the Priories of Stone, Hulton, Ron• ton and Shene. Nevertheless, John Giffard (1560-1613), 11th lord of Chillington, was vigorous in his resistance to the religious policy of Elizabeth, being summoned before Council in 1575, imprisoned several times and heavily fined. His successor Walter (1613-1632) protected his tenants, received their cattle into his grounds when the searchers were out, maintained a chapel and chaplain and allowed two of his daughters to escape to France to become nuns. (Altogether, about 15 of the Giffards of Chillington and Blackladies were smuggled abroad to become priests and religious, during the 17th century.) Small wonder, then, that Brewood was described in 1604 as harbouring "very many recusants" and among those appearing at Quarter Sessions are the families of Yates, Woolley. Smythes, Rock, and Hill. In 1641, 74 recusants were returned for the parish. In 1642 the Giffards all turned out for King Charles I under the leadership of the 13th lord of Chillington, Peter Giffard. He had reason to be grateful to the King who had supported him in his petition to be relieved of recusancy exactions over and above the £180 p. annum for which he had compounded in 1634. Chilling• ton was sequestered in 1643 by Parliament, many of its documents disappeared and Peter himself was imprisoned for a time at Eccles- hall. He took up arms again for the King in 1648 and his lands were forfeited as a result. However, he recovered the property at the Restoration and his successors Walter (1663-1688), John (1688-

6 1696) and Thomas (1696-1718) gradually re-established the fortunes of the family. When the register was begun Chillington had passed to Peter Giffard of Blackladies, Thomas having died without issue. This Peter was nicknamed " Peter the Great" for his grandiose schemes which included the rebuilding of Chillington, the building of a priest's house and chapel in Wolverhampton and the secret publi• cation there of Dodd's Church History and Gother's Prayers. The Chapel at Chillington possessed a large gold chalice and paten, 6 large silver candlesticks, a large silver crucifix, and a large silver ciborium, double gilt with a gold cover and a cross on top; though many missions at this time were still using the pewter chalices, which could be melted in a hot fire at the approach of an enemy. The chapel was a focal point of worship for the villages of a considerable area including Chillington Town, a village of 30 houses according to Gregory King's notebook, Kiddimore Green—30 houses, Somerford—30 houses, Brewood—60 houses, Bishop's Wood "a little vill" and also Codsall Wood, Shutt Green, Albrighton and Standiford. Among Catholics of the district registering property in 1718 are Catherine Bromley of Highon, Thomas How of Boscobel, Catherine Giffard widow of John now living at Worcester, John Lees of Kerrimore Green, Frances Dale of Chillington, spinster, Anthony Hill of Pepperhill, gent., and Creswell Wilks of Brewood Forge. The register includes the entries of four sons of Peter Giffard in 1727, 32, 34 and 37 (the second being born dead) and a daughter and son of Thomas in 1762 and 1764, and the deaths in childbirth of Helena, second wife of Peter Giffard in 1737 and Barbara, wife of Thomas in 1764. Among the more substantial farmers and tenants mentioned in the register are the Careless family of Brewood and Broomhall, the Brayns of High Onn, the Hills of Pepperhill, the Pendrells of Hubbal Grange, the Reynolds of Gunston, George Creswell of Woolley Farm and Anthony Leek of Langley Lane. Conspicuous among the craftsmen and estate workers are the Howell brothers, Thomas the blacksmith of Chillington, John of Albrighton, Francis the Hatchelleor, together with William the Brewer and Peter of Albrighton, probably also their brothers. The Badileys, shoemakers, and in the second part the Floydes also have numerous entries. Many of the day labourers and servants of Chillington and Brewood were members of the Cauzer family, for John, Mary, Catherine, Ann, Joseph and Francis were all children of old John Cauzer and they in their turn marry into the Yate, Boyden, Ward

7 and Leek families. Many of the servants of the Hall itself appear in the register. William Howell can be followed as he is promoted from husbandman to brewer and then to brewer and baker. Other upper servants were Thomas Dodd bailiff, Robert Dodd butler, Francis Sutton coachman, Hannah Shaw cook, and in 1762 John Floyde gamekeeper. Among the maids were Sara Rash, Mary Latchford, Mrs. Parr, Mrs. Grimbleston and Betty Braughton. John Wolrich was the personal servant of the chaplain. The register fills the volume. Chillington Chapel which was in the old gatehouse was demolished in 1787 when Thomas Giffard undertook further rebuilding of Chillington employing the architect Sir John Soane. The chaplain removed to Blackladies, which remained the chief Catholic Chapel until the opening of St. Mary's Church, Brewood, in 1844. The parish registers of Brewood record the burials of Catho• lics of the 18th century and after 1754 their marriages. The House of Lords survey of 1780 gives a total of 399 Catholics in the parish of Brewood. BOSCOBEL This house, so well known as the hiding place of King Charles II, was built on the Whiteladies property, probably before 1624, and was one of the Jesuit centres in Staffordshire. At the time of the Oates Plot in 1678 Richard Gerard of Hilderstoke and Bos• cobel was accused of being present at Jesuit meetings there and at the Royal Oak, Brewood. The Jesuits accused were Vavasour (al. Giffard), Leveson, Petre, Evers and Gavan. From 1691 till his death in 1743 Boscobel was the home of Father Robert Colling- wood, S.J., who for part of that time was superior of the 3 Jesuits still remaining in Staffs. He kept here part of the relics of St. Chad, which had been preserved, after being taken from Lichfield Cathedral at the Reformation, at Sedgley, Wolverhampton and Willenhall. Parks quotes the Wonderful Magazine of 1796 describing the King's hiding places of 1651 which refers to the chapel as being in the garret.

LONGBIRCH This house was bought by Walter Giffard in 1677 from Mr. Fowler of Salt, and later was the jointure house of Mary, wife of Thomas Giffard, who retired there on the death of her husband in 1718. She took with her John Johnson the chaplain of Chillington and he continued to minister to the Catholics there, in the little chapel, until his death in 1739. He was succeeded by John Horn- yold, who was appointed co-adjutor to Bishop Stonor. Hornyold

8 remained at Longbirch even when in 1756 he became Vicar Apos• tolic (i.e., Bishop) of the Midland district, though Madam Giffard had died in 1753. Longbirch remained the home of the Vicars Apostolic until Bishop Milner, feeling the need for an urban centre, moved to Wolverhampton in 1804. As such it was the administra• tive centre for a district which stretched from the Humber to the Thames and the North Sea to Wales. It was a training centre for young priests, large clergy meetings were held there from time to time. Hornyold died in 1778 and was succeeded by Bishop Thomas Talbot, who died in 1795, Charles Berington (died 1798) and Bishop Gregory Stapleton, who died in 1802.

BLACKLADIES The last abbess of this Benedictine Abbey of St. Mary was Dame Isabella Launder who surrendered it to the Crown in 1536, and in 1539 it became the property of Thomas Giffard*, who settled it on his third son, Humphrey. Sequestered during the Civil war, it was held in 1644 by a Parliamentary garrison, who defended it for six days against a party of Royalists under Lord Wilmot. After the return of the estates to the Giffards the Parochial authorities of Brewood, after a long legal battle in Quarter Sessions, Chancery and Exchequer, succeeded in defeating Peter Giffard's claim that Blackladies was extra-parochial. Peter Giffard put forward in his defence that among other things, the chapel at Blackladies was maintained at his sole expense, that he maintained the poor there and that it was taxed with Church Eaton. The claim was not defeated until 1718. The chapel to which he referred was probably little changed by 1837 when it was described as having two galleries, one at the West and one at the South side, supported on wooden pillars, and oak ceiling and a tesselated pavement. Above the Altar was a wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin (now at St. Mary's, Brewood) and on the roof was a turret with a bell. The latter was removed in 1789'. Antony Clough was chaplain here from 1787 to 1791 after leaving Chillington Hall, and he was succeeded by John Roe (1791- 1838) and Henry Richmond (1838-1844). WHITELADIES This Cistercian Abbey of St. Leonard was surrendered to the Crown by its last abbess Dame Margaret Stanford in 1536 and was leased first to William Skeffington but by 1541 it had come into the possession of Thomas Giffard. The abbey itself fell into ruin and by the 17th century it had become a place of burial for Catholics. A list drawn up 1692-1702 by order of Quarter Sessions records the burials of 11 Catholics from Shifnall, Wolverhampton and

9 * For an account of this religious house see S.H.C. Vol. 1939, p. 177 et seq. 1 A drawing of this chapel is to be seen in the Salt Collection, Wm. Salt Library. See S.H.C Vol. 1939, p. 218. Madeley2. The Constable's Accounts for July, 1666, include 1/- spent in ale for villagers that were roused in the middle of the night " to meet a company of strange horsemen which went to White- ladies with a funeral—not then knowing the occasion." In the 17th century, Whiteladies passed by marriage to the Fitzherberts of Swynnerton, to whom it belonged till 1812.

BRIDGEWOOD. WOLVERHAMPTON The Wolverhampton registers do not begin until 1791 but Wolverhampton, like Brewood, had been an important recusant centre since the reign of Elizabeth. The Leveson family, though perhaps less single-minded than the Giffards, were always suspected of Popery, and in 1604 Wolverhampton has " many popish many recusants " among them William Barnsley, tailor, and Widow Smith and Margaret Smith. A new and zealous master at the Grammar School, in 1604, William Barnes found that his greatest problem was the number of recusant children in the school and his struggle to get them to " come to Church" (i.e., conform) cost him his position. In December, 1635, a secret school was discovered at Ashmores, Willenhall, run by the Jesuits under the protection of the Levesons. It was broken up but may have re-formed. Richard Lee, the Puritan preacher, said in 1624 that he never "knew any part of this kingdom where Rome's snakie brood roosted and rested themselves more warmer and safer"; and later in 1651 two of the clergy of St. Peter's petitioning the Committee for Plundered minis• ters said that the town "so swarms with Papists as to be called little Rome. Twenty families of gentry hereabouts and many of the inferior sort are recusants, some of whom were so turbulent last summer that the Justices had to call in a troop of horse." After the Restoration, Wolverhampton became the local head• quarters of the Jesuits of whom Father Thomas Atkins and John

ii Gavan lived more or less permanently in the town. Catholic families at this time included the Stanfords, Winfords, Fitters, Hickens, Mrs. Harwell and Mrs. Iremonger, Edward Giffard of Tup Street, and Catherine Giffard of Cock Street. Catherine had three sons, priests, Bonaventure, the future bishop, Andrew and Augus• tine. Both Atkins and Gavan were captured at the time of the Oates Plot. Atkins was condemned to death at Stafford and died in prison there, aged 80. Gavan, with the help of witnesses from Wolver• hampton, conducted a spirited defence but was executed at Tyburn in 1679. On the accession of the Catholic James II the Jesuits opened a school for 50 boys at the Deanery Hall and Bonaventure Giffard was appointed court preacher. He was consecrated Bishop of the Midland District in 1688 at Whitehall, but before the year was out James had been put to flight, Giffard was in prison and the school had been broken up and its library, furniture and equipment burnt on High Green by the mob. The Jesuits escaped but never recovered their property or influence in Staffs. The secular clergy, however, were able to continue to minister in Wolverhampton. The present parish of SS. Peter and Paul, to which the Wol• verhampton registers belong, dates its continuous history from about 1700. A John Mill ward was priest in Wolverhampton in 1692 and by 1700 John Miller had succeeded him there, and in that year Anne Wolsley left £10 to the priest, who shall help the poor Catholics in and around Wolverhampton. In 1729 it was said that Mrs. Elizabeth Giffard's house in Tup Street had been used time out of mind as a chapel by Catholics. This was probably the house which in 1673 belonged to Edward Giffard. Among those Wolverhampton Catholics who registered their estates in 1715-1719 were Edward Collins, brazier, Andrew Hill, inn-holder, Peter Howell, blacksmith, Elizabeth Fowler, widow, Thomas Marson, victualler, of the Star Inn, Thomas Wilson, mercer, Constance Whitgreave, widow, and Ursula Kempson, widow.

In 1723 the ambitious project of building a new house and chapel was undertaken, in the name of, and with the financial backing of, Peter Giffard of Chillington. The site was bought from Edward Giffard in 1723 and the work was not completed until 1733*, at a total cost of £1.069 2s. 2^d. This is the present Giffard House, North Street, and though the chapel has been enlarged, the living rooms are unchanged. Old Bishop Bonaventure Giffard, now Vicar Apostolic of the London District, played a large part in the collection of subscriptions, and Bishop Stonor appointed Thomas Brickholes, his Vicar General and parish priest at Wolver• hampton, John Johnson, and Thomas Berrington to act on behalf

12

* For an account of the building of this house see " History of Wolverhamp• ton " by G. P. Mander and N. W. Tildesley, page 134. of the clergy of the Midland District. The contractor was Thomas Marson, the non-juring victualler of 1719. The site was cleared of ash and apple trees in May, 1727, and materials were brought from Chillington, Calf Heath, Walsall. A brickiln was set up and bricks, quarries and tiles made on the site using the clay from the founda• tions. The old house was pulled down towards the end of 1729. There were during the 18th century usually two priests in Wolverhampton, the senior or " town priest" and the " country " or " out" priest, who served Sedgley, Gornal and Dudley and Bilston. Further houses were later built, the present Paternoster Row, and the residential part of Giffard House used as a boarding house for Catholic gentlewomen. The chapel was enlarged and ornamented in 1765 by Bishop Hornyold, who, according to Kirk, employed Italian workmen for the purpose. In 1804 when Bishop Milner removed there from Longbirch, Giffard House became the residence of the Vicar Apostolic of the Midland district, and until his death in 1826 was the scene of his long and bitter struggle for complete political rights for English Catholics. The chapel was further enlarged in 1813 by an addition to the gallery but was still inadequate for the increasing congregation. Bishop Milner left a considerable bequest which made it possible to build a large extension, the old chapel becoming the transept and the nave being built out into what had been the garden at the back of the house and over Bishop Milner's tomb. The architect was Mr. Ireland. By 1834 the parish numbered about 650 and there was in addition to the church, a presbytery and houses, a " Poor School," founded in 1814, and a burying ground.

i34 REGISTERS OF WALSALL

CATHOLIC BAPTISMS

Notes on baptisms at Walsall, from the notebook of Pierce Parry, priest. The following notes are taken from a notebook in the archives of the Archbishop of Birmingham, which also contains notes on baptisms at Claxby and devotional matter. Pierce Parry was the son of John and Mary Parry, of Twffog, Wales, and was born in 1716. He was educated at the English College, Rome, and the English College, Lisbon. He was ordained in 1742 and came to England in the same year. He took charge of the mission at Claxby, Lines., the seat of the family of Mark- ham, in 1751. He was transferred to Walsall and Oscott in 1762. He later suffered from repeated paralytic attacks and retired to Aldridge in 1785, where he died in 1792.1 Baptised at Walsall.

136 THE CATHOLIC PARISH OF CRESSWELL

by F. G. ROBERTS

The first of the two Baptismal Registers transcribed here is a small leather bound volume. It contains entries from 1780 until 1819, and was kept by the Rev. James Tasker from 1780 until 1815, and by the Rev. Thomas Baddeley, with a few of the later entries by Rev. Wm. Wareing, from October 19th, 1815, until March 5th, 1819.

The list of priests serving the mission on the first page is not complete.

Entries from 1784 to 1789 are followed by " paid," " tax paid," etc. This can only refer to the stamp duty introduced in 1783, by which a levy of 3d. had to be paid on each registry of burials, marriages, births and christenings. The duty was repealed in 1794, but seems to have been a dead letter, at Cresswell at least, some years before that, unless Mr. Tasker failed to enter the payment after 1789.

The second register is paper bound, 84 inches by 7 inches, possibly a home-made one, with unevenly edged pages, un• numbered. On the front cover is an inscription in ink, of which the only legible portion is the date—1830. Below this is written, "Continued from 1830 to December, 1841, by J. K. Dunne."

This register contains a copy of the entries in the first register, as the Latin inscription at the beginning shows. The copy shows minor differences in spelling of names and occasional trans• positions of entries. Five entries in 1791 are omitted altogether. I have not thought it necessary to transcribe the names up to 1819 but one entry calls for justice. In Register I, July 6th, 1794, the note " Meg." (i.e., illegitimate) against the name of Mary Ridge, has been corrected in Register II to " Leg." It is obvious that it should have been " leg." in Register I, where the entry has been altered from one name to another, but the " Meg." left unchanged by mistake. The only other alteration of importance is that in Register II, entries on and after October 29th, 1815, are followed by, " by me, Thomas Baddeley."

i37 The Staffordshire Parish Registers. Cresswell.

Register II begins: — 1780. Nomenclatura Infantium qui batizati (sic) sunt. Between the words above is written: " Haec nomina ab 1780 ad August 19th, 1818 (incl). (This should be March 5th, 1819) ex antiquiore registro Revdi Dni Jacobi Tasker, manibus Joannis Plant primo, dein Revi Dni Thomae Baddeley transcripta hie sunt —Ita mihi testatus o. Georgius Horsenail nonagenarius. T. SCOTT, 1889. (The word Horsenail is in different writing from the rest of the inscription). I am indebted to the Rev. F. J. Grady, M.A., of Cotton Col• lege, for making the transcription of the two registers; and to the Rev. J. Denis McEvilly, the archivist of the Archdiocese of Bir• mingham, for much information. F. G. ROBERTS. The small mission of Cresswell, by its descent from the domes• tic chaplaincy of the Draycott family at Painsley, shares with St. Peter's, Cobridge, the honour of keeping the Catholic faith alive in North Staffordshire after the Reformation. Indeed, as the first resident priest at Painsley can be traced to 1652, while the earliest known at Cobridge is in 1760, Cresswell may claim to be the mother church of the northern part of the county. It is most probable, though I have discovered no documentary evidence, that Mass would have been said at Painsley Hall, as in many other Catholic houses, by priests travelling from place to place during the early days of persecution. Later, as things became quieter, a resident priest would be appointed, though his position could still be a dangerous one, especially in times of national feel• ing against Catholics, as in 1605, 1688, 1715 and 1745. At least two of the Draycott family suffered imprisonment for their faith—Antony. Chancellor of the Diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, was deprived and imprisoned in 1560. He was later released and came back to Painsley to die on January 20th, 1570, being buried at Draycott. John Draycott is recorded as being in prison in London in 1561 and another John, or possibly the same one, appears in the Diocesan Recusant Rolls of 1577 and 1588.

138 The Staffordshire Parish Registers. Cresswell.

During the Civil War, Philip Draycott's estates were sequestered and Painsley Hall held for the Parliament. By the marriage, in the late 17th century, of Frances, daughter of Richard Draycott, to Marmaduke, 3rd Baron of Langdale, of Holme, Yorks., the Painsley estates, which then included the manors of Draycott, Painsley and Consall, came to the Langdales. The 5th and last Baron Langdale died in 1788 and the estates devolved on his daughter Mary, who in 1775 had married Charles Philip, 16th Baron Stourton. It was this Lady Stourton who gave the money for the building of the present church. The first resident chaplain at Painsley was the Rev. Robert Fitzherbert, of the Tissington branch of that family. Educated and ordained at the English College, Lisbon, he came to England in 1652, where he lived with the Draycotts at Painsley Hall. It is possible that he remained here for the rest of his life, as he was appointed Archdeacon of Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire in 1682. He was certainly at Painsley in 1692. He died in 1701. A document in the Birmingham Diocesan Archives records the establishment of a trust of £300 paid for the conveyance of a farm and land called the Breach at Painsley, for 500 years. It gives the nomination of a priest at Painsley to Mark Marmaduke Langdale and his heirs or, for want of heirs, to John Draycott and his heirs. This priest was to serve the Catholics, as well as the tenants and others at Painsley, Draycott and Bragett's Hill. £15 was to be paid to him annually from the trust for the 500 years. In conformity with the will of Philip Draycott, dated July 8th, 1697, the priest was to say two Masses weekly for his soul. Lastly, Edward Coy- ney, a priest, was obliged to live at Painsley or sufficiently near that the family could avail themselves of his services. Father Edward Coyney, mentioned in the above document, was one of the Weston Coyney family. It seems that he supplied the mission until his death on September 27th, 1722. He was educated at Douay and on coming to England lived with his aunt Mrs. Antony Hill, at first at Offley Park, near Eccleshall, and later, possibly as a result of the trust mentioned above, at Bramshall. which was near enough for him to fulfil the conditions of residence. He was living at Bramshall in 1717. Kirk (Biog. of Eng. Cath.) says that he afterwards lived at Weston Coyney and finally at Painsley, where he is believed to have died. He was buried at Draycott, according to the same source.

139 The Staffordshire Parish Registers. Cresswell.

His successor at Painsley was the Rev. Thomas Mackworth, a Londoner educated at Lisbon and Rome. Ordained on April 11th, 1716, he came to England in 1718. Kirk says he was at Painsley from September, 1722, until 1726, but adds that he had to withdraw to the Continent in 1723. He died on January 11th, 1733 (O.S.). Again, according to Kirk, the Rev. George Leyburne was the next priest, from 1727 to 1736. He died on January 24th, 1737. He was a member of the Leyburne family of Nateby Hall. Garstang, Lanes. He was born May 25th, 1673. Before coming to Painsley he had been chaplain at the family home at Nateby. A letter from him in the Birmingham archives, dated February 20th, 1728, shows that he was lodging with a Mr. Kent at Lees Houses, a short distance from Painsley Hall. A farmhouse of this name still exists. It seems possible that it was Mr. Leyburne who transferred the chapel from Painsley Hall to Lees Houses. The discovery during Father Scott's time of a number of old vestments hidden in a chimney at Rookery Farm, which seems to be another name for Lees Houses, lends support to this theory. Mr. Leyburne's successor was the Rev. Francis, otherwise John Walter, Fleetwood, believed to be one of the Calwich Abbey family. This information comes from Kirk, but the dates he gives overlap with those he gives for Mr. Leyburne. Mr. Fleetwood was born on March 6th. 1699. He had been brought up at the Court of St. Germain, where his father was in attendance on the exiled Stuarts. He was ordained at Valladolid and on coming to England had been appointed master of the school at Twyford, near Winchester. He left there in 1732 or 3 and came to Painsley, leaving there in 1735 to go to Liege, where he joined the Society of Jesus. At this time, if not before, he was known by the name of Walter. It appears then that Mr. Leyburne left in 1732 or 3 and that Mr. Fleetwood was in charge of the mission from then until 1735—it is unlikely that there would be two priests at Pain• sley at the same time. From 1735 until 1749 there is a gap in the list of Painsley chaplains. This may be filled by two priests mentioned by Kirk, but without dates—the Rev. Turner and Rev. Foley. I can find no information about either. In 1749 there came the best-known of all the Painsley priests, the Rev. Alban Butler. When sent to England he hoped that he

140 The Staffordshire Parish Registers. Cresswell. would be appointed to London, where he could consult the libraries for information for the " Lives of the Saints," on which he had been engaged for many years, but Bishop Stonor claimed him for the Midland District and so he came to Painsley where he remained until 1751. The first volume of the "Lives" appeared in 1756 and it is almost certain that some of the work was done at Painsley, or at Lees Houses, if that really was the centre of the parish by that time. His successor was the Rev. George Hardwick, another Douay priest. The list at the beginning of Register I, evidently the work of a later hand, says that he remained until 1759, but it seems from Kirk that he must have left about 1755, as the Rev. Francis Hinde is stated to have come about that time and to have remained until 1756, and that the Rev. Edward Ball succeeded him at Pain• sley from 1756 to 1759. From 1759 to 1765 there is another gap, which may possibly be filled by another priest mentioned, without dates, by Kirk. This was the Rev. James Chester (whose real name was Lolli). He was at Longbirch in 1765, which fits in with the arrival at Painsley in that year of the Rev. Edward Granham, or Grannan. He is known to have lived at Lees Houses. He remained until 1779, when the Rev. James Tasker was appointed. Mr. Granham's grave is in the Draycott chapel of Draycott parish church, as is Mr. Tasker's. Mr. Tasker, educated at Betley, Sedgley Park and Douay, built or acquired the present priest's house and adapted a farm building, a cowshed it is said in one account, for a church. He remained at Cresswell until his death on July 26th, 1815. His successor was the Rev. Thomas Baddeley, who had worked as a stonemason until he was 21. He then wished to become a priest and was sent by Bishop Milner, first to the school at Sedgley Park and then to Oscott College, where he was ordained on May 28th, 1815. Mr. Baddeley quickly set to work to build a more suitable church on the same site. As the land belonged to Lord Stourton he set off for Yorkshire on the outside of a coach, though he already showed signs of lung trouble, which caused his early death, to obtain permission to build and money for building. He obtained all he asked and on his return proceeded vigorously with his new chapel. He planned it all himself and took an active part in the

141 The Staffordshire Parish Registers. Cresswell. building. In its essentials the chapel remains today as he built it. He also started a small seminary in the house. Several of his students went on to other colleges and were ordained, but one, the Rev. Edward Daniel, afterwards for many years missioner at Lane End (Longton), completed the whole of his course at Cresswell. Mr. Baddeley's obvious tendency to consumption led the Bishop to send as his assistant the Rev. William Wareing. This was in 1819. On Mr. Baddeley's death on February 18th, 1823, Mr. Wareing succeeded and remained at Cresswell until 1831. In 1850 he became first Bishop of Northampton. The complete list of the priests of the mission, as far as can be ascertained at pre• sent, is as follows: —
