Clarification needed

Hello, in the section "Mission work" the sentence "He was appointed to Yarm in Teeside (which was then in Beverley)" needs clarification. As the links point to areas it does not make sense as Teesside is nowhere near Beverley. I assume it is meant to be a church or ecclesiastical position that it refers to.

Thank you, Keith, for the heads up on that one. It appears, as far as I can see, that the former RC Diocese of Beverley extended just past the edge of the North Riding, so as to just include Yarm. I haven't checked the maps - I have only provided the quote from the source, and added a link to the old diocese. I have been careful not to link Yarm, in case I am wrong, i.e. in case there are two Yarms? Hope that works now? Storye book (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that works now. Keith D (talk) 10:10, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
