Joseph Hugill's Children - Frances Sarah Hugill Joseph Hugill D.D. was the Rector of St Lawrence, Darlaston from 1840 to 1842. Mary Steatham was baptised at St. Lawrence, Darlaston, Staffs, on Sunday the 14th February 1841, by the Rector Joseph Hugill D.D. Mary Statham/Steatham (1840-), was the mother of Charles Steatham, the founder of this unique branch of the Steatham Family tree. I have been contacted by Leanne Emmett who is a 3rd Great Grand Daughter of Joseph Hugill. What follows is a fascinating glimpse into the life of his daughter Frances Sarah. I am grateful to Leanne for the information she has provided on Joseph Hugill, this has enabled me to create this page. Note - I have recently undertaken a Steatham Visit to Grantham to research the churches that Joseph Hugill was Curate at before he came to St Lawrence, Darlaston. I would read this page first and then Click here to read about the visit. The visit unearthed lots more information about Joseph Hugill, some of it has been reproduced here but not all of it, so to see the whole story of Joseph Hugill the visit page must be read in conjunction with this one.

Joseph Hugill was the Stipendiary Curate at Burton Le Coggles, Lincolnshire. The
Stipend was £100
per annum, with surplice fees, and the use of a house.
The Anglican church is dedicated to Saint Thomas a Becket. The Diocese refer to it as St Thomas Canterbury. The Anglican parish register dates from 1565. The Nave and Chancel belong to the reign of Edward I (c.1250) and the church tower is over 700 years old. The church was restored and reseated in 1874. Burton-le-Coggles, originally “Byrton-en-les-Coggles” – named for the path of cobbles (or coggles) which ran through the area – is mentioned in Doomsday, when it had several farms, extensive woods and a mill. The Church consists of a Tower, Spire, North and South Aisles, Porch and Chancel. The most remarkable feature of the Church is its Early English Tower and Spire (c.1200). Until the early 20th Century, there was a Musicians’ Gallery at the West end.

Knights in the porch - Burton Le Coggles church. Copyright 2010 - Nigel James Wright. |
Within the Porch are two recumbent effigies of knights of the reign of Edward II (d.1327), although they may
also be Crusaders from the third Crusade (1190).
They were found buried in the Churchyard during digging operations, their feet are missing and they are known locally as "Bill & Ben". |
Font - Burton Le Coggles church. Copyright 2010 - Nigel James Wright. |
There is a plain octagonal font, of the decorated period (pre-1400) set upon a plain solid
square base. On the photo is Liz Wright, who is a 3rd Great Grand Daughter of Robert Steatham.
The poor of the parish have 8 acres of land left by an unknown donor. The revenue from this plot is distributed among the poor each year. |
