Bingham from 1926 to 1931.
From
1931 to 1952 he was Rector of Finchampstead (Hampshire/Dorset?) from where he

Reverend
Weller also seems to have been a Nottingham born man and of a similar age
to
Rev. Jagg
of St Mary's Church, Westwood.
They certainly knew each other very well, being at the same College and then
being at the same Parish.
