Help understanding Thom's entry

[iem]

On p994 (Ecclesiastical Directory bit) of Thom's for 1868 there is an entry for a William C Magrath.  Can anyone explain what it all means please?
Thanks

William Carroll Magrath was the last rector of Baldungan.

"Although there had been no functioning church in Baldongan before the 18th century, the Rectors of Baldongan continued to be instituted until 1838, when the Revd William Carroll Magrath became the last rector.

In 1845, an order was made, telling the parishioners of Baldongan to attend Holmpatrick on Sundays because there was no church in Baldongan. Magrath was the last rector of the parish, but by then he was actually living in Huddersfield in the Diocese of Ripon, where he had been Vicar of Paddock since 1843, and in 1868 Baldongan was officially united with Holmpatrick."
