The World of Reverend John Storr, 1576-1662

Reverend John Storr M.A., my 8th great grandfather, was the Vicar of Appleton-le-Street Parish in Yorkshire’s North Riding from 1606 to 1662. He was ordained in 1600, while Queen Elizabeth was still on the throne and, despite opposing the Puritan faction, managed to hold onto his cure until the Restoration of Charles II, until his death at an advanced age.

Besides a sketch of John Storr’s life, the reader will find in these pages much additional material about the religious and social environment in which he and his descendants lived. He will also make the acquaintance of some of John’s more colourful contemporaries.
