Names Inscriptions Notes Archdeacon. One of the sons of this gentleman is the subject of our notice. He was born in Bath, July 13th, 1777, none years before his father became Rector, and was educated on the foundation of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A, in 1799 and M.A. in 1802. Early in 1815 he appears to have been presented to the vicarage of Stanton Drew by his father as Archdeacon of Bath, who up to that time had himself held the preferment, and no doubt resigned it in favour of his son. In July of that year Archdeacon Phillott died at the age of 66, and thereby vacated the rectory of Stanton Priors. The patron of this living, Col. Gore Langton, M.P., soon afterwards presented to it the deceased rector’s son by whom it has been retained to the present time. Fortunate however as the deceased had been, he was yet to receive a still more valuable piece of Church preferment. A few months afterwards the Mastership of St. John’s Hospital became vacant by the death of Dr. Chapman, and in April, 1816, the Corporation, who were at that time the patrons, presented to this lucrative sinecure the Rector of Stanton Priors and Vicar of Stanton Drew, who has thus enjoyed for half a century the united income of three ecclesiastical offices, one of them of considerable value. The patronage of this latter, the Mastershio of St. John’s, has been for a long time in the hands of the Corporation in virtue of a grant of Queen Elizabeth. . . . The income of the charity is very large. At he time it was settled by Sir John Trevor, one hundred and fity years ago, the annual value was about £1200, but since that time it has greatly increased and is now thought to be worth ten thousand pounds, and upwards. . . . 32 Martha Woodham (1798- Headstone: 1849) IN Memory of Richard Woodham (1791- MARTHA WOODHAM 1853) WIFE OF RICHARD WOODHAM OF THIS PARISH who died December 11 1849 Aged 51 Years.
