Please see my new blog victorianclericalerrors.blogspot.com for a brief discussion of the Rev. H.G. WAKEFIELD who fled Shrewsbury under rather scandalous imputations in 1888.
My interest is in Victorian Clerical Scandals and my database from Shropshire - other than WAKEFIELD, includes: SPEDDING, ROCKE, WELCH, GIBSON, KEVILL-DAVIES, KEMPTHORNE, ANDREWS, JONES (Edgton), and GOWAN.
Willing to learn more. victorianga@aol.com Thank you.
Peter, sorry to be awfully tardy but LIGHTFOOT-HARRISON is out of my time frame - the Victorian years - and, as such, I have nothing about him. Good luck.

Tom,
Have you previously encountered a Shropshire cleric by the name of the Reverend William Francis LIGHTFOOT-HARRISON?
I do not know how "scandalous" his (post-Victorian?) story is but the threads at this link http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.lightfoot/931.1/mb.ashx might give you a lead as to how interesting his story may be.
Peter
