Robert Helme ~ For some uinknown reason Robert Helme changed his name to Maschiter after leaving Leverstock Green, and a plaque under the Baptistry window reads: "In memory of Reverend Robert Maschiter, Vicar of theis Church 1861 ~ 1871, who died June 26th 1909 aged 79.
Chambersbury ~ The parishes of Leverstock Green, Apsley End and Bennetts End were joined in 1980 to form the Team parish of Chambersbury. Until 2003 the Rector and the post of Vicar of Leverstock Green were synonymous. It was then decided that other members of the clergy team could apply for the position of Rector, and if one of the other team Vicars was appointed Leverstock Green's Vicar would be just another member of the clergy team. David Lawson, Vicar of St. Mary's Apsley, successfully applied for the position of Rector of Chambersbury. A new Vicar of Leverstock Green was then appointed.
Michael Abbott ~ Following convictions for sex offences against boys, Michael Abbott was "defrocked" or deordained by the Church of England and stripped of his title of Reverend in September 2002
