More about this scene
In 1645 old Thomas Wright was ejected from the living, presumably because of his known Royalist sympathies and his refusal to give up using the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. A Puritan preacher, John Brereton, probably a relation of the Parliamentary commander, was put in his place. Apparently the Puritans demolished the organ, sold the silver and presented Mr Brereton with a pewter basin to baptise the congregation. He in his turn was expelled in 1660, and Thomas Wright came back, just for one year, as he died in 1661.
