The earlier names are taken mainly from Dugdale’s Antiquities Of Warwickshire, but there are no records before 1316. The names of some of the earlier incumbents are worth noting because of their similarity to place names of today. Also, during the twenty years of the Black Death (1349-1369), it will be seen that there were five vicars, including two in one year:
Roger de Boyvill, 1316
Thomas de Coventre, 1328
Nicholas de Haselovere, 1349
William de Bradweye, 1361
