Vicars & Curates
No records survive of Vicars and Curates appointed before the 17th Century
probably due to the destruction of Church property during the Cromwellian
rebellion. The Prebend of Woodborough in Southwell Minster did not serve
the Parish himself, but appointed a Vicar or Curate as his deputy.
