Sarah Hebron was elected Sexton on 2 July 1833 “to have £2/12 per year for doing the duty of a Sexton to attend to the fires and keep the church clean.  The Churchwardens to see about getting the stove in repair”.
The sexton has the care of the fabric of the church and is responsible for digging the graves and ringing the bells.  It is not clear from the churchwardens’ accounts who was the previous sexton;  it may have been Nathaniel Smithson.  The records do not show who the vestry appointed to take care of the bells and, particularly, the gravedigging.

Will of Revd Jeremiah Grice of Hutton Rudby, May 1820

From my research notes - in case it is of use or interest to anybody else.  I think it's all accurate, but obviously I can't guarantee accuracy. 

Jeremiah Grice was the vicar of Hutton Rudby from 1781 until his death in 1820.  His Will can be found at the Borthwick Institute, York.  I will begin with a summary of the contents, go on with a transcription and finish with notes on it.

Grice was the last vicar to be buried within the altar rails of Hutton Rudby church.

One of the witnesses to his Will was Thomas Pulman, the surgeon who died in the cholera outbreak of 1832.

Jeremiah Grice:  Will dated 1 May 1820, died 13 May 1820, age 71
