Note 1:
Samuel Wimbush and his son James, were Rectors of Terrington for 68 years from 1865 to 1933. Samuel, from a prosperous Finchley family and an Oxford man, immediately took against the old Rectory (now Terrington Hall Preparatory School, next door to the church). It had been built by his predecessor only 40 years earlier, and was once said to be the largest rectory in Yorkshire.
Wimbush set to building a more modest mansion, now Terrington House at the foot of the village. Until recently, the rectory included a porthole-shaped window, which was said sentimentally to celebrate the ship on which he and his bride passed part of their honeymoon.
When not tending his flock and raising his family of nine children, he managed the Church's three farms or slipped off to go trout fishing in the Rye or the Costa.
He modernised the church (1869), and saw that the village school was built as a Church of England institution (1890). He was secretary of the pioneering Reformatory near Castle Howard, founded by the Howard family. His diaries give a good portrait of family life in a Victorian rectory and much of our knowledge of Terrington comes from his antiquarian studies. By 1879 one of his sons rode his new-fangled bicycle to Hull and had taken up lawn tennis, just invented, at Wiganthorpe Hall.
In 1908, Samuel died and was succeeded by his son, James, formerly of Sunderland, Bulawayo and Bath. The church was in the blood, for one of James's sons, Richard, became a bishop.
