From Wardell's History of Yarm pages 46 and 45
"Yarm Church was served by the Augustinian Canons of Guisborough Prior before the Reformation, so we can expect no list of incumbents. Since the reformation, the list of curates appointed by the Archbishop of York is scanty until the extant parish records begin, the few names before 1653 being supplied by Dr J.S.Purvis from the recodfs at York. Several of the appointed curates held other livings and were not resident, their place at Yarm being taken by sub-curates appointed and paid by them; some of the sub-curates wre also masters of the Grammar School. It was because of applications made to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners between 1864 and 1866 by the incumbent, the Rev. John Winpenny, that the Yarm living was endowed with a tithe rent charge and glebe house formerly in the possession of the Archbishop, and was declared a rectory. The living consisted solely of a tithe rent charge of £265 10s 0d (£265.50) plus interest on the above sale"
