—————-
In the spring of 1861 The church of Wanborough after about 200 years of desitude was restored by the Revd W A Duckworth who at his own expense undertook to provide that the Church should be saved in the hope future Proprietors in the parish Would to its permanent endowment. This was done as an act of neighbourly kindness and not as aforming Rectorial rights over Wanborough and he expressly stated in writing to the Bishop and also to Mr Ross Mangles the Lord of the Manor that this was not to form any precedent for any claim whereby to attach Wanborough to the rectory of Puttenham.
On the 14 June 1861 The church was reopened for public worship at 6 in the evening. The Bishop of Lichfield (Lonsdale) preached.
The Revd George Robert Comyn Chilton was appointed to the cure at a stipend of £50 per annum which Mr Duckworth undertook to pay until further arrangements for a permanent income could be made and this he continued to pay until his resignation of Puttenham when he left the neighbourhood in 1876.
The property and Manor of Wanborough were sold by the Mangles family to Alexander. McKibben Esqire of Rainsford Hall who being a Presbyterian was averse to the endowment of Wanborough. He nevertheless was ready to help in other ways and he built an excellent school for the parish.
In ? a gift of £1000 to start the Endowment Fund was promised to the Clergyman by a very dear Friend. Mr Mckibben no longer withheld his consent and he as well as other friends and neighbours subscribed.
Church Vestry
Thkis was built in 1926 as the gift of W.C. Perkins esq. see Church Vestry for a full account.
