Notes

  • The Township Westleigh.
    (Westleigh, a suburb of Leigh, Greater Manchester is one of three ancient townships, Westleigh, Bedford and Pennington, that merged in 1875.
    The St Mary the Virgin Church has been in existence since the 12th century and probably much earlier. It was once known as the Church of St Peter at Westleigh in Leigh, and straddles the boundary between the old townships of Westleigh and Pennington, the nave and churchyard being in Westleigh and the chancel in Pennington.)
    An exchange of livings, 1410
    Thomas Hyne, who had spent much of his time at Titchmarsh wanted to leave Leigh and go back. The patroness Maud, Lady Lovel and Holland, agreed and Hyne approached the bishop. On 31 March 1410 Lichfield bishop wrote to Lincoln bishop, said he was too busy and asked that he should examine the reasons for the exchange and attend to the details. Soon after on 6 April at Sleaford the rector of Titchmarsh, Ralph Repington, was admitted to the benefice of Leigh by the Bishop of Lincoln, under a commission from Lichfield. Repington sent a proxy, Richard Lopington, domicellus, to represent him.
