He was Co-adjudicator for the Bishop of Lichfield (who lived in France) and was allowed to wear the bishop's robes and mitre. The stone lid was in the churchyard for many years and is now very worn. It was brought back inside at the insistence of the North Staffordshire Field Club. Photograph donated by Stafford Historical and Civic Society, who retain copyright ownership.
