In 1636 the Corporation of Coventry agreed to pay William Panting £100 a year for three years, in exchange for the vicar’s tithes and allowances (with some exceptions) and a lease to this effect was drawn up in 1640 (presumably this is the ‘Indenture made betweene me & certain Aldermen of the same Citie’ mentioned in this repeipt). Pantine was a member of the laudian party and the living was sequestrated in 1643.
