I found the occupant of ' old parsonage' ( rev Hopwood (?) In 1818 he was living at 'Bank' This could have been Heifer Bank I suppose. Bank terrace would not be described as Abbey Street.

Found him in the 1841 census, if you follow the enumerators route he leaves Heifer Bank Farm & cottages, then to the Parsonage and then to Bank St, the map shows it to be at the top of Infant St, facing Charlie Browns, and before you get to Queen St, what used to be called Cannon St, before the present Cannon St came into being
Heifers Bank Farm in 1790 was owned by Messrs Peel & tenented by John Heap, farm consisted of 39 acres, and was rated at £33. In 1828 it was owned by John Peel and tenanted by George Heap, acreage 38, value now £71. Most of the farm land was up what is now Avenue Parade and the Water St area.
