During the 18th and 19th centuries, eight vicars served All Saints' Church and the parish of Rudby-in-Cleveland.
Churchwardens were elected annually. The list of their names reflects the families that have moved in and out of the village over the years.
1700-35 [1]
Rev Michael Lieth (variously spelt Lyth and Lythe)
1735-67
Rev George Stainthorpe
1767-74
Rev Donald Grant
Grant wrote Two Dissertations on Popish Persecution and Breach of Faith which you can, amazingly, still buy on Amazon.
In this work, he admits that he knows a number of worthy local Roman Catholic families, some of which had lived in the area since the Reformation, but said that he strongly opposed their Faith and their claim to be loyal to the King
(Isn't it pleasant to reflect that All Saints has for some years been part of a successful Local Ecumenical Partnership with the Methodist and Catholic churches?)
