The Yorkshire parish is really Askham Richard.

Mr Denton was the curate for many years. JMC appears to be the new curate.

Mr Denton lived here with his 2 maiden sisters. They were a most worthy trio, full of quaint old fashioned ways. Of Welsh origins, the old ladies made yearly visits to Wales in their simple donkey-carriage; stopping en route at farm houses and friends houses. Mr Denton late in life became Incumbent of a Yorkshire parish (Ascombe Bichard ?[sic]). He came in 1839 and so lived here during 24 years. I have heard his claim to a Peerage was deemed a very strong one but he c^d not afford to contest it.
