Rectory of Swithland:
Philip Alston. Born 1708 at Woodburn, Beds. New College, Oxford 1727. Rector
of Swithland 1735-1760. (Ref: Leics. Records Office. Induction mandate ID41/28/1206)

An Absentee Rector.
After a succession of resident rectors, Philip Alston (1735) was probably the last to have been almost entirely absent from the parish. By an agreement of 14th December 1737, he leased the parsonage house, with the glebe land and tythes, to Joseph Danvers (Lord of Swithland Manor) for twenty-one years at £20 per year. Danvers agreed to maintain the parsonage in repair, and to nominate, appoint, and pay a resident curate to live there.
