Hi

they are both of 'this' parish so coming from the parish where the marriage took place

by Banns

the year is eighteen twenty something and the vicar is Henry something possibly beginning with W.  elsewhere (familysearch) the date is transcribed as 1827 but that doesn't look like a 'seven' to me.

This marriage was solemized between us, the mark X of Thomas Broxholme, Ann Brown.

By stating "of this parish" simply means that was where they were living while the banns were called.

Isn't it odd that there's only one witness?

Since no one addressed this explicitly, it is worth noting that in your original post you transcribed the 's' in 'solemnized' and 'consent' as 'f', but that is not correct.  If you look closely at the letters, you will see they are not the same as the 'f' in the word 'of' on the last line.  In the 'f', the crossing line goes all the way through the vertical line; in the 's' it only sticks out the left side.

Of course, to modern eyes this old-style 's' looks more like an 'f', but it is correctly transcribed as 's'.  And yes, they used two different characters for 's', depending on the context.

Thank you for explaining the "s" and "f" I tried looking the word up with an "f". Never too old to learn. Also do you know where I can read about the "s" being written differently depending on the context.
