Rushworth was probably at Shipley earlier than 1675 - see the will of Margaret Ball (d. 1667) where 'Mr Rushworth, Minister of Shipley' is mentioned. Ref. West Sussex RO STC I/23/387b. According to M.M. Hickman, in his history of the parish (1947), Rushworth was the incumbent in 1664. He gives his source as the Chichester Diocese Clergy List p. 135.
