John Carter was an Anglican priest. [1]
Carter was born in Luton and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. [2] He was ordained on 19 September 1630. He was Rector of Settrington from 1641 to 1646; and Archdeacon of Chester from 1660 [3] until his death. [4] A plaque on the wall of Settrington church details his death to be 28 February in either 1666, or 1667. [5] [6]
Between 1644 and 1662, Carter was ejected (dispossed) from his living at Settrington; he was re-instated around the time of the Reformation. [5]
