  	Perpetual Vicar of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England
  	This included the chapel at Semington, Wiltshire, the Lay Patron being John Martyn, Gentleman. A Curate called William Crouch was appointed for the chapel at Semington on 22 September 1684. Less than four years later, on 24th April 1688, William resigned the position at Steeple Ashton, the position being filled by Bartholomew Martin who was possibly a relation of the Lay Patron John Martin, so perhaps William had no choice in his resignation.
  Occupation	Between 24 Jun 1689 and 2 May 1703
  	Vicar of Rowde, Wiltshire, England
  	The Lay Patron being Henry Baynton, Armiger, of Bremhill, Wiltshire, who was Member of Parliament for Calne.

  Notes	Sherrington parish Thomas Lambert, rector 1677– 94, was also rector of Boyton and archdeacon of Salisbury and formerly a domestic chaplain of Charles II... Curates often served Sherrington in the period 1677– 1726, but later rectors were apparently resident and only occasionally assisted by a curate.
