Gedling All Hallows

List of Incumbents

The parish had two rectors, one appointed by the Bardolfs as Lords of the Manor and one appointed by the Prior of Shelford. The Stanhope family acquired the advowsons of both when they bought the Priory lands and Manor of Shelford Priory in 1540 after the Dissolution. Their descendants were the Earls of Chesterfield and later Carnarvon.

William Stokes, the last Vicar of the Shelford moiety died during the Civil War when there was no means of appointing a successor. The two moieties were combined when Richard Chenevix was Rector. See history page for more details.
