The only information I have found is from this web-site
:
http://www.springthorpe-village.org.uk/history/church/rectors.html. Interestingly it seems to leave out the other two Hallifax named vicars, or at least those proposed in the pedigrees held at Suffolk Record Office. This internet list is explicitly about the Rectors of Springthorpe while the Hallifax documents refer only to the vicars. I wonder if there might have been both over the period from 1621 to after 1686 so it might be instructive to make a list of these rectors and the supposed Hallifax vicars: |
| Years | Rector | Years | Vicar |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1624-1643 | Thomas Wye. 1624. By the Prince of Wales. First fruits 12 May 1624. [Called Thomas Wier. Still Rector 1642-3]. | 1621-1660 | Reverend Robert Waterhouse Hallifax Vicar of this Parish from the year 1621 to 1660 |
| 1643-1654 | Unknown | ||
| 1654-aft 1671 | John Halifax. In 1654 and 1671. John Halifax had two sons in Orders. Of these, Thomas matriculated at Brasenose Coll. Oxon 1679, proceeded B.A. 1682 and M.A. 1686. He became Vicar of Streatley, Berks 1693, and rector of Compton Bassett, Wilts in 1710. The other son, William Halifax, matriculated Brasenose Coll. Oxon 1671, became Scolar of Corpus Christi Coll. 1674, B.A 1675, M.A. 1679, Fellow 1682, B.D 1687 and D.D. 1695. He was Chaplin to the British Factory at Aleppo 1688 - 1695, Chaplain to the Spea | ||

| The notable thing in the above table is that the information from the rectors' site precisely agrees with that in Alumni Oxoniensis. |
