Talk:St Michael and All Angels, Middlewich

Untitled
The simple appearance of the name of Thomas Langley, vicar of Middlewich in 1646, does not do the man justice! Thomas Langley arrived in Middlewich in 1608, and was an enthusiastic presbyterian and Puritan. As such, he was periodically expelled from the church, only to re-appear a few years later. He was associated with other famous Puritan preachers including Simon Ashe, John Angier and Henry Newcome. He was, of course, welcomed back into the church with open arms during the Commonwealth. He died in 1657, and the parish register for that year notes that he had been minister for 48 years. His son, Samuel Langley, started out as vicar of Swettenham, near Middlewich, but then moved on to spend most of his life as vicar of St. Editha's church, Tamworth, where he, too, became a famous preacher.

Raymond Richards book
Really disappointed the Raymond Richards quote has gone! Salinae 22:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair point! I have reinserted the reference to the "depressing town", but not the couplet relating to the bells which I do not think is encyclopaedic (only my opinion).  As you will have noticed I have only the old (1947) edition of Richards.  If anyone has access to the 1971 perhaps you could give the full reference (with publisher, page details etc) and if they are still correct all the Richards' references could be linked to this.

 * Some of the original material came from the 1973 edition, but I haven't got it handy. Amazon gives the following  Publisher: EJ Morten Publishers; New Ed edition (12 Jul 1973).  I'll try and dig up the stuff I've got and see if one ref will be enough. Salinae 21:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
