Name William GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Between 1472 and 1532 Gender Male Church role 1552 St. Mary’s Church, Abbotskerswell, Devon, England 
Custodian of valuables - One of those to whom custody of the bells and chalice was committed at the time of the 1552 inventory (see a summary of what these were for on TNA website). The Devon records for nearly all parishes of the abridged sort, just listing bells and chalices, with more details surviving only for a handful of parishes - and Abbotskerswell is not one of those.
The reason why particular people were chosen as a named custodian is not shown, but it may be that William was a churchwarden at the time.
Kent records, where more details survive, show that those appointed usually included one or more often two churchwardens.
Three parishoners from Abbotskerswell were appointed, Richard Olde and Andrewe Reche besides William.
