MINISTERS.

THE Minister of this Church is, as the Minister of St. John's, Curate and Lecturer. As Curate, the Vicar pays him 3 l. per Annum, and as Lecturer he is paid by the Town 100 l. per Annum. The other Minister is the Assistant, and is paid by the Minister of the Parish.

THE Register of this Church has been so badly kept, that I meet with the Names of none of it's Ministers in it but one, viz. one Stephen Dockwray, An∣no 1656; who succeeded him I know not, but one Pottinger was Minister here, and I remember Mr. Richards and Mr. Shadford.

JOHN Ellison, A. M. of University-College, Oxon. the present Minister.

Curates I am told, were Mr. Perkins, Mr. Straghan, Mr. Stoddard, Mr. Lyon, Mr. Simkoe.
