  For 1802 as the date of John Faulkner’s death and Richard Greaves’ institution, William Wing in his ‘Supplement’ substitutes 1822, calling it ‘an erroneous date twice repeated.' He writes ‘it was in 1822, not 1802, that Vicar Faulkner died and was succeeded by the Rev. Richard Greaves; the present writer (William Wing) born in 1810, well recollects the Rev. John Faulkner in the reading desk facing north with a clerk's seat below him and a pulpit above.' The list in the church gives 1821 and 1822 as death and institution dates respectively.

   The Latin Rolls of the Court of the Prior of Bicester supply one name that helps to fill the interval mentioned between 1345 and 1523. The entry is as follows :—"Walter Cheyne, Vicar of Dadyngton is granted a toft (a messuage with right of common) hard by Sotty Lane." (Satin Lane, now often called St. Thomas’ Street).

   The latter is named, not after a Saint, but after one Thomas Parish who owned land there.
