Effigy in full Eucharistic Vestment of the first Rector of Longford whose name we know: John Cressy who was Rector from about 1311-1338. Unusually Longford traditionally had both a Rector and a Vicar - the first Vicar known was Jordan de Suutton (1304-1343)> We know the names of some 49 Rectors and 47 Vicars (the 15 clergy since the 1850s have been both Vicar and Rector).
