There are a couple of mentions of Dissenting Ministers in Ruyton XI Towns One being given a licence to use his house as a place of worship
Hello Daisy
Could you expand the information you have given by adding the names and the dates. I understand the dates are significant because different rules applied at different dates.

I have a note that Richard Richards was given a licence by the Oswestry Justices of Peace in 1785, to hold religious Services in his dwelling House in Ruyton. ? Baptist
Shrewsbury Baptists had permission to hold service at a cottage in the Little Ness Road, owned by two maiden ladies. The Misses Kinastons of Ruyton Hall promptly bought the cottage and banned future Non Conformist services . In the Spring 1832 Rev Dr Jenkyn of Oswestry used his Gig as a platform to conduct a service in the open air in front of the Admital Benbow and a drunken mob. This carried on throughout the summer of that year

Hello David
I am informed by one of my contacts that the 'Oxford Dictionary of National Biography' has quite a bit of information about Job Orton. There are at least two references online at <https://www.oxforddnb.com/search?q=job+orton&searchBtn=Search&isQuickSearch=true> but if they don't answer your question you should look for a good reference library near to where you live to consult the above publication.
You should note that some text on the above web site provides a link to another page so do run your cursor over the page.
