Gender Male Education Exeter College, Oxford University, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England

Ordained 3 Jun 1792 Titchfield Chapel, Westmoreland Street, Marylebone, London, England To the Diaconate - Peter was ordained by James Cornwallis, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, but authorised by John Ross, Bishop of Exeter.
The ordination took place in a private chapel that had been built in 1774; there were a number of such Church of England chapels in the area. (See this section in 'The Environs of London')

Occupation From 2 Aug 1792 to 5 Jan 1794 Bicton, Devon, England Curate - Assisting the Rector - who was his father. His licensing occurred 2 months after his ordination as Deacon, although his ordination 'Letters Dismissory' record dated the same as his ordination shows he was to be curate at Bicton, receiving £40 a year. He was licensed to another parish the day after he was priested; I assume he was curate in Bicton until then.
Ordained 5 Jan 1794 Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary, The Bishop’s Palace, Exeter, Devon, England - He was ordained by William Butler, Bishop of Exeter.
Occupation From 6 Jan 1794 Langtree, Devon, England Curate - His ordination record shows he was to receive a stipend of £40 a year.

Actual date from Vivian (Cornwall Vis, p. 582)
Peter died, as was usual at the time, still in office as Rector despite his age, but the PRs show signs of his declining health. The PRs show that he was still officiating at burials to late June 1852, and at some baptisms to late October, and he took all the marriages that year, his last being in September. Peter's writing was becoming increasingly shaky and for that last marriage he only signed the marriage entry, the rest being in another hand. After the above dates only other priests names appear, especially John Palmer, who had been doing a lot of the baptising already.
