Foster: son of Charles of Astley, Worcs, arm., CHRIST CHURCH, matric. 8 Apr. 1783 aged 17; BCL ST MARY HALL; R and patron of Bitterley, Salop 1817 until his death 1834.
It appears below that he was inst. to Bitterley in 1795 and ceded in 1817, and he (or someone of the same name and degree) was inst. in 1817. Bannister is not clear on this and it is possible that the same man ceded and was instituted again in 1817. Parish registers call him R there 1795 to 1835. Website wolcottfamily.com/Shropshire.html (accessed 19 Aug. 2017) states that after graduating, for which date given as 1791, he lived at Powick until 1794 (unbeneficed) and was then R of Bitterley 1795 to 1835.
