Hello
Just this morning I read in a Leeds parish register, looking for ancestors, and came a cross this poor fella .
Aug 5 1585
John Thompson, dying at Hillous Bancks, was excommunicated,and was brought into the churche porche, and there left in his wynding shete, the fift day of August, and after, buried by some of hys friends in the nettles under the churching wall, out of the common place of buryale.
I was wondering why ever they would do that to the poor soul. V. interesting. Thank you.
