Hi Malcolm, thank you for the STARBUCK info from the Protestation Returns, very much appreciated. I remember discussing Rev OLLERENSHAW in Lenton with you as well. If I remember rightly, a 'farm' in this context was a lease of some money-making enterprise, eg. paying to be the collector of tithes, or at a later date, collecting tolls on turnpikes. I guess temporal meant it was a non-clerical thing and something he shouldn't have been doing as a clergyman. Online dictionaries suggest that a "nightwalker" was someone who walks about at night usually with criminal intent (or perhaps in search of female company). Not what you'd think a clergyman would be doing!
