Sir William died August 5,1673, leaving a son William, who, like his father, possessed the advowson of Bonnington Rectory, and exercised his right of patronage in 1688. In or before the year 1693 Mr. Wm. Mann had sold the lands above mentioned to Mr. Thos. Turner, of Lincoln's Inn, London, and the advowson likewise. In 1701 his son, Mr. John Turner, presented the Bev. John Turner to the Rectory of Bonnington. Within eight years the Rev, John Turner resigned, and then John Turner, gent., presented the Rev. Thomas Turner to the Rectory, which he held for 33 years.
