   • Richard was infirm or an invalid for most of his life and by 1801 the parish was paying for someone to look after him. By 1829 the Vestry ( the body of responsible parishioners who preceded the parish council ) decided that it was the responsibility of his brothers , James and Robert to support him and that they should be summoned for not doing so . But the magistrates ruled that there was no legal way of achieving this
