13 May 1784: burial of William Stockdale, sexton of Rudby Church
19 Feb 1790: burial of Thomas Seamore, a 74, Sexton of Rudby Church
Sarah Hebron was elected Sexton on 2 July 1833 “to have £2/12 per year for doing the duty of a Sexton to attend to the fires and keep the church clean. The Churchwardens to see about getting the stove in repair”.
The sexton has the care of the fabric of the church and is responsible for digging the graves and ringing the bells. It is not clear from the churchwardens’ accounts who was the previous sexton; it may have been Nathaniel Smithson. The records do not show who the vestry appointed to take care of the bells and, particularly, the gravedigging.

Dale
1872 Post Office Directory: Hutton Rudby: Frederick Dale, F.R.C.S., surgeon, Enterpen
Frederick Dale M.D was the doctor who certified Mr Barlow’s death in 1878
Frederick Dale was born in Yarm, and baptised 13 Feb 1843. His parents were both from Yarm. He took the MRCS England in 1866, then MD at Edinburgh in 1867, where he had studied. In 1871 he was a widower with a housekeeper and groom and lived in Enterpen, but within months he had remarried, to Mary Weatherill [cf Letters to a Miller’s daughter]. The 1873 directories give his address as Layton House.
1877 & 1880 Medical Directories: medical officer for Hutton Rudby District of Stokesley Union
1881: he was succeeded by Dr Melvin as medical officer, and in the census is to be found in Stokesley, once more a widower, but now with three children under the age of 8 [cf Miller’s daughter], and practising from College Square. Directory entries show this address until 1885, adding that he was a certified factory doctor. Bickford’s Hull Medical Directory shows a Dr Frederick Dale, with the same qualifications, at 40 Charlotte Street, Hull, practising as an accoucheur in 1882. In 1886 the Medical Directory shows Dale at Weston super Mare, holding the posts of medical officer to the Great Western Railway, and to an Assurance Society (probably part-time posts) [Dr Geoffrey Stout]

Vicars and Churchwardens of All Saints', Hutton Rudby in the C18 and C19
During the 18th and 19th centuries, eight vicars served All Saints' Church and the parish of Rudby-in-Cleveland.
Churchwardens were elected annually. The list of their names reflects the families that have moved in and out of the village over the years.
1700-35 [1]
Rev Michael Lieth (variously spelt Lyth and Lythe)
1735-67
Rev George Stainthorpe
1767-74
Rev Donald Grant
Grant wrote Two Dissertations on Popish Persecution and Breach of Faith which you can, amazingly, still buy on Amazon.
In this work, he admits that he knows a number of worthy local Roman Catholic families, some of which had lived in the area since the Reformation, but said that he strongly opposed their Faith and their claim to be loyal to the King
(Isn't it pleasant to reflect that All Saints has for some years been part of a successful Local Ecumenical Partnership with the Methodist and Catholic churches?)

Notes on Hutton Rudby's industries in the 19th century
From my research notes for Remarkable, but still True. I can't guarantee accuracy, but I thought it might be of interest to others to see the topics brought together in this way. I have added internet links where I have found them available.
1808: Graves noted that “there are no common, or uninclosed lands, which is a circumstance of some advantage and consequence to husbandry”.
1853-70: The “Golden Age of Farming”
1877: the price of wheat began to drop disastrously
1894: Royal Commission noted that in the Stokesley area wheat growing land had fallen in value by two thirds since 1879, farmers had lost their capital and three had even applied for poor relief
This depression in farming only came to an end with the First War
1801 Census
Skutterskelfe, Sexhow and East Rounton wholly agricultural
Hutton, Rudby and Middleton 20 % agricultural and 80 % manufacturing, trade or handicraft
1808
Graves commented that in the parish the number of people engaged in agriculture and the number engaged in trade or manufactures was nearly equal.

Chapter 16. Melancholy Intelligence: the death of James Barlow Hoy
Local life at this period is brought vividly to life in the Stokesley press.
The Stokesley News & Cleveland Reporter was launched by the young George Markham Tweddell in 1842. It was critical of government and an ardent supporter of the Anti-Corn Law League in a time of deepening recession. Tweddell's employer William Braithwaite had printed the first two issues for him until Tweddell refused to tone down the political content. The Cleveland Repertory & Stokesley Advertiser was Braithwaite's response – politically conservative and carrying far fewer political items, it was also a more enlivening read [1].
In their pages we find accounts of local events: births, deaths and marriages, the Cleveland Cattle Show, the Cleveland Agricultural Society, balls at the Crown in Osmotherley and the Fox and Hounds at Carlton, cricket matches, lectures in favour of teetotalism and against slavery, meetings of the local branches of the Oddfellows Society, visiting circuses, agricultural accidents, the Stokesley and Redcar races, police reports and local and national politics.
Mr Barlow can be spotted at the fifth anniversary meeting of the Cleveland District Committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, held in the Great Room of the Mill, the Earl of Zetland presiding [2], and also conducting the funeral service of Jeremiah Raney, landlord of the Wheatsheaf. As Mr Raney was a member of the Oddfellows, this was extensively reported by George Markham Tweddell, himself an officer of the Cleveland Lodge, and was well attended by members "wearing the usual funeral regalia of the Order" [3].
By 1843 Mr Barlow was ready to undertake a new major project in his parish.

Chapter 10. 1831: Mr Barlow's first year in Hutton Rudby
The area around his new home would have had much to interest Robert Barlow's lively mind. He had a great interest in the physical world and delighted in technical and practical matters – as can be seen in his decision to design the village school himself, his appreciation of Humboldt's Cosmos, and in the surviving draft of his letter to the Lords of the Admiralty suggesting improvements in warship design.
He cannot but have been fascinated by the Mandale Cut, built in 1810 to take two miles from the distance between Stockton and the sea, and the Portrack Cut, opened only days after his arrival in the village.
He may have been less than impressed by the railway bridge over the Tees, which Isambard Kingdom Brunel described as a "wretched thing".
By the time of his arrival, ninety-five lots in the planned new town of Middlesbrough had been sold – the Revd Isaac Benson had bought two, and two men from Hutton Rudby, the builder Thomas Davison and the yeoman William Scales, had also been among the purchasers.
Mr Barlow's parishioners were people with a keen interest in matters beyond their village, and the arrival of Lord Falkland will have given them a gratifying feeling of being part of the new reign of his father-in-law King William IV.

Chapter 5. The Brighams & the Harkers
A significant figure in the village was the agent in charge of Lord Falkland's estates. George Brigham, a man of forty [1], had taken over from his father Robert some fifteen years earlier.
Born near Slingsby, Robert Brigham had been Lady Amherst's steward and agent for many years. His abilities had brought his family prosperity and prominence in the village, and he had held the posts of High Constable and churchwarden of Rudby. He farmed at Rudby Farm as a tenant of his employer. His daughters married prosperous local men: Elizabeth was the wife of the miller at Leven Bridge, William Simpson, and her sister Mary had married his brother Robert, miller at Newport, whilst Isabella was the wife of the Stokesley saddler, Ralph Watson. Ann had made the best match socially, when she married the Revd Richard Shepherd, vicar of Rudby.
George Brigham is said to have acted as one of the surveyors of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and became Lady Amherst's agent when only in his twenties. By 1823 he was working as a land agent and valuer, and held the offices of coroner for Cleveland and chief constable for the west division of Langbaurgh. He farmed at Windy Hill, Rudby, paying Lady Amherst a yearly rent of £265 [2].
Unfortunately George was not as capable as his father, and his rather uncertain grasp of his duties is revealed in the letters of his good friend, John Harker. The story of the troubles that beset the Brigham and Harker families reveals a vivid glimpse of life in Georgian Stokesley – and resulted in repercussions which were to have an effect on events in Hutton Rudby.
