Jeffreyston

Jeffreyston Parish

Jeffreyston parish, originally combined with the nearby church of St. Issell's, was granted status as a church sometime in the 1330s. The union of the two churches dissolved sometime before 1534 with both churches becoming independent. Possibly named after Saint Jeffry, Jeffreyston also has alternate spellings including Geffreston and Jeffreston. The church changed hands several times throughout its history and was leased by various people including; Mr. David Wogan, David Nash, George and Elizabeth Lucy, Duncan Banes and a Mr. Allen. The church was restored in 1868 and an east window was installed in addition to the north transept being enlarged.
