Rev. John Pocock

[K Rees]

Has anyone access to Up Cerne, Dorset records of 1793 to 1795?

I am looking for more information of Rev. John Pocock at Up Cerne, Dorset, to where he was first appointed 27 May 1793.

Only a short stay, as he was Master of the Free Grammar School in Frome on 17 Apr 1795 (Vestry Minutes of St John the Baptist, Frome (http://www.sjfrome.co.uk/vest17d0.htm).

Thank you Stan and Jan.

Interesting records; ordination Trinity Chapel Conduit Street (London) may lead me onto where he studied. His brother George Pocock was a a teacher; still trying to see if he taught with him at Frome Grammar School or in Bristol with Richard Durban (1793-1797) before purchasing Prospect Place Academy in July 1800.
