Name
Letter from William Sacheverell to Archbishop of Canterbury on Isle of Man ecclesiastical needs
Description
William Sacheverell, Governor of the Isle of Man under the Earl of Derby, appeals to the Archbishop of Canterbury for ecclesiastical support in 1693. He details the desperate condition of the Manx church: vacant bishopric, ruined churches, unpaid royal benefaction of £100 annually, impoverished clergy, and the need to complete Dr. Barrow's library and academic facilities. This reveals pre-Revestment governance structures, the Earl of Derby's authority, and the island's ecclesiastical and economic vulnerabilities.
