When ordained deacon, 25/3/1604, noted that Woodbridge has lived at Staines for half a year and more; constituted to serve cure of Laleham, Middlesex. Note of ordination as priest (the same day) says 'Now' Curate of Laleham. Laleham is a chapelry in Staines parish.
Linked the C. of Laleham with R. of Stanton Fitzwarren because of Foster and because he is the only man of this name in F. at this time.
