Baldersby, Incumbents transcription:

The List of Incumbents in St. James's Church, Baldersby.


Church of St. James The Great
Baldersby and Rainton

St. James Church was Consecrated on the Feast of
St. Michael and All Angels 1857, and was the last of a
series of churches built between 1847 and 1857 by
William Henry, Seventh Viscount Downe, on his estates,
together with schools and vicarages, and generally partly
endowed.

The Foundation stone was laid by Lord Downe, in
May 1856, but before the church had been completed
the Viscount died, and he never saw the final building.
His mortal remains were transferred from the
churchyard of Topcliffe to that at St. James, after the
consecration of the churchyard, and a brass to his
memory was placed in the chancel of completed
church.

The parish was taken out of the ancient parish of
Topcliffe. In 1977, the parish became part of the
Thirsk Team ministry, but in 1982 the incumbent of
Baldersby became incumbent of Topcliffe, Dalton
and Dishforth also, thus re-uniting most of the
ancient parish of Topcliffe under one incumbency.
