Hallo I wondered about the church also. I dismissed it because St Peter's in Macclesfield looks more recent, more 19th century than 15th. Being born in a barn would make more sense if there was a hostel or similar attached to the church. It's certainly old enough to have had accommodation of some description. I didn't do Latin either.
