This can only be the same man as our ancestor in Johnson Atkinson Busfeild's book, thus giving us a little more information on him.

In Brewster’s “History of Stockton-upon-Tees”, pp. 239-230 there is:
“Soon after the Rev. Geo. Walker, vicar, (1715) came to reside at Stockton, he was called upon to inter a poor person. When they came to the grave, the attendants were preparing to take the body out of the shell, or coffin, which contained it. He inquired what they were doing, and was informed, that the same coffin was used for the funerals of the poor, and that this was intended to serve again. He insisted on its being put into the ground with the body; and from that time took care to prevent the repetition of such an act of indecency.”
(I suspect that Geo Walker was not aware that the poor persons’ family would be required to pay for the coffin... I wonder further if this persuaded poor people to be buried elsewhere?)
