| Ingleby Greenhow |
| A List of the Clergy of Ingleby Greenhow, With Historical Notes. | |||
| Patron: The Right Hon. Lord De L'isle and Dudley. | |||
| - | |||
| In his monograph on Ingleby Church, the late Rev. John Howell, M.A. F.G.S., gives A | |||
| List of the Clergy of Ingleby Greenhow. In it there is a wide gap from 1211 to 1592. | |||
| From the latter date, the succession of clergy is obtained from the Parish Church Registers. | |||
| - | |||
| There is no authentic record prior to 1592, except three from the Whitby Chartulary. | |||
| - | |||
| The writer has endeavoured to compile a list within the period named above, the | |||
| sources of information being given. Owing to the meagreness of this information, the | |||
| various dates must not be taken as representing either the appointment or retirement of the | |||
| persons named. It has proved an impossible task. Hence it follows the list is both incom- | |||
| plete and imperfect. At the same time it may chance to be interesting to those who | |||
| read, and perhaps be the means of enabling some other person in the future of adding to, | |||
| and thus making it more complete and perfect. | |||
