The Rectory at Barford was the beneficiary of £200 from Jeremiah. The poor of the parish were to receive an income from rents of 34 shillings per annum. Presumably this was in his will, as it is dated 1732.

The seems to have been some controversy to his involvement with Barford. He was awarded the living, (I.e given the parish), by the Bishop of Norwich in 1693, but it subsequently turned out it was not the Bishop’s to give - that right rested with a local landowner Sir Henry Wingfield. However this seem to have been smoothed over as Sir Henry approved the appointment in 1699.

He appears to have been ordained on the 20/02/1687 as a deacon in the Prebendial Church at Buckden , Hunts. He had graduated with a BA.
He became a licenced preacher on the 21/02/1687, although his church is shown as Waltham sup le Wold, Leicestershire.
He became Rector of Barford on the 3rd June 1693.
He became Vicar of East Tuddenham on the 12th November 1694, when the parish was united with Barford.
His qualification is now shown as M.A.
On the 13th November 1697 he became Rector of Marlingford, which then became united with East Tuddenham.
On the 1st February he was re-appointed as Rector of Barford.
However, he resigned as rector of Marlingford on the 17th May 1700.
By the start of 1728 the parishs of East Tuddenham and Barford are vacant due to the death of the incumbent.
