Whorlton-in-Cleveland - Post Town Northallerton [590]

Francis Earle, of Whorlton Parsonage, Northallerton - Inducted January 1855 perform two services every Sunday at both of which a Sermon is preached. The Hours of Service are 10:30am and 2:30 or 3pm according to the season of the year. Services also on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and Christmas Day. Also a Cottage Evening service, at Potto on the Thursday, and in the school room on Fridays and at least once a week in the day-school and on Sunday afternoon in the Sunday School. General Average, 19½; average at festivals, 20¼. I keep a list of my Communicants - the Morning Congregation is not more than, perhaps, between 30 and 40. Afternoon, above 100. The deficiency to be attributed to the great prevalence of dissent, arising in great measure, from a long period of non-residence of a Clergyman in the parish. There is a Church Missionary Society and National Society. Money has also been collected (though not in church) for the Irish Church Missions and Jews' Society. There is an excellent mixed school. The Sunday School, averages only about 30. The Day School averages between 50 and 60, but I hope it will increase under a Master recently appointed. The Day School is supported by School-pence, Government grants and private subscription. The Marquis of Ailesbury (Patron) contributes £30 a year. I am sorry to say not, the four chapels in my parish are proving a great means of drawing them from me. Adult Night Schools, Reading Room and Lending Library have been tried with but indifferent success, but I am hoping to report better progress with the help of my present Schoolmaster. The great prevalence of dissent, which, however, will not be wondered at, when I inform your Grace that so far as I know no clergyman has resided actually in the parish for many generations, if indeed since the Reformation. The erection of a good Parsonage is now a sure guarantee of a resident clergyman. The Church is very old, but is kept clean and tidy and duly provided with requisites for decent performance of the Divine Service. The Churchwardens are well disposed men and discharge their duties with conscientiousness. A wall is being built around one side of the Church Yard, authorised at a duly convened Parish Meeting

Chapter Note

 

Francis Earle left the parish of Whorlton in 1874 for West Tanfield (diocese of Ripon) which was in the gift of the Marquis of Ailesbury. This is the same village where one hundred and forty years earlier his great x2 grandfather, also called Francis Earle, re-built the old bridge spanning the river Ure only for a sudden flood to wash away two summers of his work (see Boroughbridge Chapter for details)

Chapter Note

 

East Riding of Yorkshire Archives, Ref: DDX402

 

Canon Albert Earle in his Antiquarian Notes & Papers dated 1899 wrote of the family of Dr Francis Earle as follows: -

 

"The three sons of my great uncle, Dr Francis Earle MD of Ripon were educated for doctors, and took doctors degrees - one only subsequently practised (with exception of Rev. Francis Earle who practised a short time in Bradford before taking Holy Orders). John, who practised at Cheetham Hill, Manchester, before retiring to live in the Crescent at Ripon, being BA MD of Kings College London. George, of Whitwood Hall nr Normanton, a land agent and horse-breeder, J.P. being MD of Birmingham. Francis Rev'd Rector of West Tanfield - formerly also Rural Dean of Bedale and Domestic Chaplain to the Marquis of Ailesbury being BA MB of Trinity College, Dublin, where he was in residence. He was also educated in Paris. Whether George of John have other medical degrees I do not know."

 

A letter from Mary Gertrude Earle of Ripon to Canon Albert Earle of Wansford was found in the archive and is copied as follows: -

Dear Mr Earle

 

 

 

            I have found my uncle Frank's sermons (was afraid they had been destroyed) and am sending you these as I promised. I returned home last Thursday after my very enjoyable visit at Scorton, the cousins are always so kind and make one have a pleasant time. I was very pleased to meet you and Mrs Earle as I have heard my uncle speak of you very often. I hope when you are near Ripon you will come and see me. With kind regards to Mrs Earle and yourself

 

 

 

                                    Yours sincerely

 

                                    M. Gertrude Earle

 

 

PS - I trust you have good news of your brother, that he is regaining his strength
