I think I am right in saying, there is a book called Crockfords it lists vicars and their various appointments. I know our local Library used to have one. I am not too sure of the dates as a while ago.  This might be something to go on!

There is this Clergy database searchable I believe by area as well as name

There is a new Clergy of the church of England database at http://theclergydatabase.org.uk/jsp/persons/index.jsp

This seems to be an updated version of the one mentioned by Rosie (which I used to use)

You can search by name or parish (assuming you know the Diocese), I am not sure of it goes up to 1920 though

Crockfords is an annual publication. (Near-) complete runs are available at the Society of Genealogists library and in the National Archives library; my guess is that a few big libraries will also keep complete runs, rather than just retaining the most recent one. Each entry gives the clergyman's name, education, and appointments.
