Eccles.
One of the suffering Canons of Hereford - see Walker's '...Sufferings..'; Walker also states he was non-resident at Chetton, his name not appearing in registers [though it does in CCED records], and whence he was ejected in 1660 by Committee of Shropshire; is also described at the time he was incumbent of Chetton as prebendary of Wisborough, Chichester diocese - this could be, as list in CCED has gap, and his son, John, takes up that post in 1681 when the list starts again.
St Cuthbert's presumably error for St Katherine's.
