Thomas Sturkey. formerly rector of Marchwiel. He proceeded in 1878 to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1881, and M.A. 1885. He was ordained by the Bishop of Carlisle in 1882 to the curacy of Barton, Cumberland, and three years later transferred to St. Mary's, Carlisle. In 1885 the Earl of Lonsdale conferred upon him the living on Kirk Andrews-on-Eden, with Beaumont. Mr. Sturkey in 1886 published a history of his church, and was a member of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian Society.
