On 4 Dec. 1697 Thomas Brockbank, Curate of Colton, wrote a reference for Myles to the inhabitants of Cartmel Fell,who were in 'present want of a fit person to Serve at that Chappell as Reader and scholemaster'. He noted that Myles's 'diligence and care have much encreased the number of Schollers at Blawith and wo'd (I doubt not) do the like in the Fell, where diligence and care have I think been wanting in him who sho'd (chiefly) have instructed the children.'
At the end of July 1698 Brockbank wrote to him desiring him to read the banns of a couple of Colton parish. A letter of 18 March 1699/1700 places Myles at Cartmel Fell. The Diary and Letter Book of the Rev. Thomas Brockbank, 1671-1709, ed. R. Trappes-Lomax, Chetham Soc., new ser., vol. 89 (1930), 123-4, 133, 176.
Myles is listed in the 1698 Register of Orders for the Archdeaconry of Richmond (18 May) as Curate of Cartmel Fell (as he was not ordained deacon until two years later, recte Reader).
