From the earliest times until the postwar
period the rectors of Hamstead Marshall were appointed by the
lord of the manor of Hamstead Marshall, which from 1623 meant
the earls of Craven. Nowadays the right of patronage is vested
in a committee, on which the earl of Craven may sit alongside
representatives of the diocese and the parish. In practice the
earls of Craven have not exercised this right for many years.
