This town is sometimes stated to have been in the parish of Hutton Rudby, and by Ecton said to be in the parish of Carleton ; but Mr. Graves, in his History of Cleveland, is of opinion that it was a Donative, and therefore exempt from ecclesiastical jurisdiction, until augmented by Queen Anne's Bounty ; and this opinion is supported by the Act for inclosing the township. The greater part of Faceby is in the parish of Whorlton, and the Charity Commissioners class it so in their Report.
The patronage was in the Prissicks ; in 1792, George Sutton, Esq., nominated, now in G. W. Sutton, Esq., who is also impropriator.

Augmented in 1792, with £200; in 1817, with £200, from the Parliamentary grant. In 1828, with £200; and in 1829, with £200, -all by lot.
