Title
Letter to Mr Finney at Little Longstone from [Revd] J. Sutton at Elton, 24 December 1713, on the right of presentation or nomination to chapel of Longstone. Sutton has compared the "dispositions" of which Mr Wright has a copy with the original at Lichfield, and states that Mr Wright and the inhabitants have no more right than Sutton himself. The nomination must be by the vicar of Bakewell with the approbation of feoffees and other parishioners of Longstone. The feoffees died without selecting successors. The last surviving one was the father of the present Mr Longston in whom power is invested to take care of the [feoffees'] estate and elect new ones. Sutton advises acquainting Mr Longston with his power and right, advising him to use it and not strengthen Mr Wright. Sutton will never come to Longstone as curate without the consent of all parties
