Of the earlier vicars mentioned above, nothing is known until we come to the Rev. Peter Whyte, of whose immediate
- ↑ In all previously issued lists of vicars, Richard Fleetwood has erroneously
been named as patron in this instance. There was no Rich. Fleetwood of Rossall
at that time, and Edward, who had been patron at the former institution, was probably
still alive as he had no son and but one daughter, who married Roger
Hesketh, the next patron in right of his wife.
