BECKFORD MISSION
From Yvonne:
I wonder if you could help me please?
I am doing some research on some of the Giffard family of Nercwys, Flintshire, Wales and a Monsieur Le Tellier visits them at irregular times and I just wonder whether he was a Catholic priest. The family had a Catholic chapel in their home and various priests lived with the family around the period of the French revolution. The years I think Monsieur Le Tellier was visiting the family were between 1807-1831. Could you please tell me where I could find more information about this priest please. He is in your list for Beckford in 1815. Thank you for your help.

A second, an abbé Letellier is recorded as having conducted a baptism at Tewkesbury in October 1814 (Cheltenham Register). In 1815, the year of Waterloo, Father Birdsall, the Benedictine founding father of the Cheltenham mission, tells us that a ‘Revd Mr Le Tellier left Beckford and returned to France … he is the Pastor of Biennais, near Rouen’ (Birdsall’s Diary). Le Tellier was a common name among the Norman clergy and I have discovered eighteen of that name in English exile – (Bellenger, p 248). Three of them, Francois Joseph Robert (1760-1825), Jacques Antoine (1752-1819) and Jean Philibert we’re from the Archdiocese of Rouen. I tend to think it was the first of these, Francois Joseph, who was at Beckford. Jacques Antoine worked in the north and Jean Philibert is altogether too elusive a character. The third of the French priests at Beckford was …’
