SHARDELOW, John |
- Source is Shards newsletters #15 and #48 by Gerry Langford.
John, was the Vicar of Ilketshall St. Andrew and later nearby Beccles, both in the county of Suffolk.
Leonard was the father of the Thomas Shardelow at Kessingland, he married Kimborowgh Edgar and had 6 children before he died in 1612. There is considerable evidence that it was his youngest son, John, who obtained a scholarship to Sidney College, Cambridge at the age of 13 and matriculated three years later, was ordained Deacon at Norwich and Vicar of Ilketshall St, Andrews, Suffolk in 1632. He was also Rector of Beccles, Suffolk although the date of this appointment is not known.
Unfortunately the registers of Ilketshall St. Andrews for this period have been badly damaged and, in spite of conservation work done on them, large parts are illegible. One entry which can be read refers to " John Shardelowe the son of John Shardelowe and Maria his wife was baptised the 18 May 1638". This is signed John Shardelow, vicar.

Sequestration (removed) as rector of Beccles. “He had done what he could to preserve peace with his parishioners, to the extent of consenting to their choice of John Clerke (subsequently his usurper) to be Lecturer in the church. He was granted the ‘Fifth’ in May, 1647, and is said to have lived until about 1670. Source: Volume XIX Part 2 (1926) Sequestrations in Suffolk.
[Around the English civil war (1639-53) sequestration saw the removal of many church ministers.
In July 1643 a council of divines and members of the English Parliament was appointed to restructure the Church of England, this was the Westminster Assembly. Then began the sequestration of clergymen loyal to the King and overtly influenced by Catholicism. They were replaced and silenced].
