Can you please read this

[Pollynation]

I know it says St. Barnabus, Openshaw, Manchester 11.
It says Rector at the bottom right.

Can anyone please read the rest of it?
Thanks
Pauline

You probably know by now that you haven't attached the image!

Hi Pauline,

It could be G A Thayer.

cheers

My opinion is G A Theyer.

Church of England clergy are listed in a reference book called Crockfords, which was published for many years (I'm not sure it still is). If you could find the right edition in a reference library, you could confirm the Rector's full name and more details, such as a brief list of the livings he held.

There is a similar book for the Roman Catholic hierarchy.

Thayer, Theyer, or Taylor?

Thankyou for your replies about the rector, but can anyone read the second line?

Thanks again for the help
Best wishes

The first word looks like it could possibly be 'John'

The second word looks like an 'S', followed by an 'a', then (unless its a smudge or crease!) 'p'
There's certainly an 'h' towards the end, then possibly a 'k' followed by an 'a' at the end.

My best guess would be 'Sapruahka'

Looks like John Sapsworthe to me.........
