Sacrificial Reform Plan for Leeds Parish Proposed by Dr Hook
Dr Hook, vicar of Leeds, offers to divide his 32 mile parish into 14 parishes, surrendering income from 13 to incumbents and patronage to the bishop, while retaining a principal district with a residence for a clergyman. He seeks churches for the poor and aims to endow livings with proper vicarages, awaiting parishioners to embrace an unappropriated church floor. The plan has approval from Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Sir Robert Peel, with further notes on related appeals and delegates.
