(GRO ref: Driffield 9d 455) who was born in Corsham, Wiltshire in
the fourth quarter of 1847 (GRO ref: Chippenham 8 256). He became the vicar of St. Martins, Scampston in
the ancient parish of Rillington. Scampston, formerly a chapelry under Rillington,
was for a few years severed from Rillington, and constituted a distinct parish.
The living is a new vicarage, in the gift of A. J. Cholmley, Esq., of Newton Hall, and held by the Rev. Theodore Williams, M.A., of Wadham College, Oxford. Its annual value is £60, but this is supplemented by £100 given by the lord of the manor. Right: Rev. Theodore Williams Vicar of Scampston 1882-1894 Source: Rillington - an East Yorkshire village Below right: Scampston Church [Scampston was the home of the St Quintin family, owners of the Well Close Farm.] |
 |
| The church was rebuilt in 1845-6, in place of an old one which dated
from Norman times, but was in such a dilapidated condition that its
restoration was impossible. The present edifice, which is dedicated to
St. Martin, is in the Early Decorated style of architecture, and
consists of chancel, nave, two aisles, south porch, and open bell turret
containing two bells. The cost, about £2,000, was defrayed by William
St. Quintin, Esq., the then lord of the manor. On each side of the nave
is an arcade of four pointed arches dividing it from the aisles. All the
interior fittings and furniture are of oak. There is no burial ground;
the dead are interred at Rillington.

Mary e, Ann's other daughter, was also at North End Farm but is described by the Enumerator as 'sister-in-law'. Does this suggest a more permanent residence than 'visitor'.
