Excerpt from The Register Book of Christenings, Weddings, and Burials, Within the Parish of Leyland, in the County of Lancaster, 1653 to 1710 (With a Few Earlier "Transcripts, " 1622-1641) N o considerable change took place in the state of the parish or the position Of the vicar until the era of the Reformation saw the patronage transferred to the family of Fleetwood, which had become possessed, by purchase from the Crown, of the neighbouring priory of Penwortham. The disturbed period from 1645 to 1660 left fewer marks upon the parish than might have been expected. Vicar Langley, who was growing old when the Presbyterian system was adopted, sat as a prominent member of the sixth Classis. His successor, Rothwell, was not sufficiently puritanical for the zealots, and so he was driven into hiding until the King enjoyed his own again, when he reas sumed the duties of his office. In 1690 the Crown conferred upon the poor Vicar of Leyland a confiscated estate which had been assigned to charitable uses. The sale of the F leet wood property in 1748 led to the transfer of the advowson of Leyland Church to the Baldwin family, which has supplied seven of its members as vicars of the said church. The Rev. Thomas Baldwin, m.a., the first of these, was also one of the co-rectors Of Liverpool, succeeding the Rev. Henry Richmond in 1721.
