I was recently in Barley, doing a bit of historical research, and discovered that the one time rector, Dr. Samuel Lee, a fascinating man - http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/lee_scholar/lee_scholar.htm
and Dr. Vores (see Recent Stories, below) were brothers-in-law . “And her brother-in-law, the Reverend Thomas Vores, then of Park Chapel, Chelsea, and afterwards of St Mary's, Hastings, thus expressed himself:--'Dr Lee is confessedly the first Orientalist in England, probably in Europe. He has unwearyingly devoted his wondrous attainments to the defence of the great and blessed truths of God's pure Word, and God has called you, dear sister, to the honourable office of being a helpmeet to such a man.'”
