RichardB Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 There is more detailed evidence for the large centres Halifax, Leeds, Sheffield where the great strength of Yorkshire Puritanism lay. For Sheffield, there is evidence from the records of the Arch bishop s court. The evasiveness of the witnesses and churchwardens of the parish, when the latter were cited for nonconformity in 1635, argues a real measure of popular support for Thomas Toller, their Puritan vicar.

Guest JSP Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Something I wrote down from the Local Studies Library. From a book by Edward Jessup; "Of these clergymen, some certainly, like the Rev. Thomas Toller (1597-1635) were Puritans, and in 1662, at the restoration of Charles II, among the 2000 clergymen who refused to submit to the terms of conformity and resigned their benefices, are included the Vicar of Sheffield, the Rev. James Fisher, and his 3 assistant ministers, Edward Prime, Matthew Bloom, and Rowland Hancock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
