burial is entered in the Penistone Register: "Timotheus Broadley, artium magister, vicarius ecclesiæ Penistoniensis Sepult. Cawthorniæ." The Rev. M. Shirt married a daughter of the Rev. N. Broadley, Incumbent of Cawthorne. An entry in Capt. Eyre's Diary says: "Easter day, April 18: This morn I went to Cawthron, to church, where I heard Mr. Broadley preach in the forenoon: [he] laboured to shew the excellence of the Divine Providence by examples of terrene government." (p. 26.)
Mr. Walbanke, it will be noticed, is mentioned as having been "suspended" in 1703. There is a full record of his suspension among the old papers at the Vicarage. Several charges were brought against him: One, that he had forged several names to a certificate of moral character presented to the Archbishop, in order that he might be admitted to serve the Cure of Denby Chapel. This is what Hunter refers to, no doubt, when he speaks of an attempt to connect this Chapel [of Denby] with Cawthorne, where Christopher Walbanke was then the Minister. Another charge proved against him was that he had "caused to be set and painted on the walls of Cawthorne Church several pretended sentences of Holy Scripture not agreeable thereunto," giving an example of how he had altered the words of St. Luke xxi., 42. A further charge is that he had allowed one who had been "enjoyned by the Archdeacon's Court to do penance (for having committed the crime of fornication) habitu penitentiali in the time of Divine Service upon Sunday the 25th Sept., 1664, and in the presence of the congregation, to do the same clandestinely and not habitu penitentiali in the said Church, on the Feast-day of St. Michael, returning the said penance into the Court as having been duly performed." He is also charged with having celebrated sundry clandestine marriages, and one especially, in which both the parties lived without the Parish. These charges and his suspension at least shew that there was some real ecclesiastical discipline in the Church more than 200 years ago over both clergy and laity.
Mr Cockshutt is frequently mentioned in John Hobson's Diary. One entry says: "Mr. Cockshutt minister of Cawthorne told me that he had an old man called ✶ ✶ ✶ Turton his parishioner, who died about seven years ago, who was clark at Silkston in the civill-
