Nonconformity
Apart from three recusants in 1577, (fn. 59) no nonconformists were recorded in the parish until 1823 when the rector reported a few 'Independents'. (fn. 60) Primitive Methodist attempts to establish a congregation in the parish in the 1840s were ultimately unsuccessful. (fn. 61) A Baptist family was reported in 1869, and in 1873 or 1874 a Baptist preaching station was opened. It was served alternately with one at Thrupp until the opening of the chapel at Thrupp in 1876. (fn. 62)
