Biography
Francis was born in 1531. Francis Tunstall ... He passed away in 1587.
He was externally a conformist in religious matters when Elizabethan changes were made but, being notoriously disaffected - in 1564 the Bishop of Chester reported him as unfavorable to the Queen's proceedings in religion - he was brought up for examination before the Queen's Commissioners. He replied that he had usually attended service at Tunstall Church within the previous twelve months but had not received Communion.
