[Note: David Poyner (Assistant curate, Highley, Billingsley, Chelmarsh and Glazeley with Deuxhill) has helpfully pointed out that some Highley institutions are wrongly recorded under Hughley. The Highley ones are easy to identify as the living belonged to Wigmore and so any incumbent presented by that institution would have been to Highley, not Hughley.]
