Note 5 — Chapter II · HAUNTED GLENS AND HOUSES
Reading edition
An entry in the Diocesan Register of Worcester states that in 1374 "John Clopton of Stretforde obtained letters dimissory to the order of priest."—In 1477 Pope Sixtus the Fourth authorized John Clopton to perform divine service in Clopton manor-house.—Mrs. Gaskell, then Miss Byerley, saw the attic chapel at Clopton, in 1820, and wrote a description of it at that time.
