Dear Carole
Here is all the information my friend Sue has been able to find out!
'Following the request you have received I have searched Canon Ross' history of the church and also David Arnott's draft rewriting of the history. As you can see Rev. Wylde is mentioned twice, but I don't know where the photo is that David mentions, unless it is one of the ones in the Vestry.
From Canon Ross:
There are tablets in the tower to ... the Reverend Robert Wylde M.A. (Vicar 1828— 1833).
Robert Wylde (Vicar 1828—1833) has been described as "big and powerful, a roaring preacher and an able minister". He saw the Nave rebuilt in 1830.

From David Arnott:
Robert Wylde, 1828-1833
The next Vicar about whom we have any information is Robert Wylde who was described as "… big and powerful, a roaring preacher and an able minister …".
The dates of his incumbency mean that he presided over the rebuilding of the Nave in 1830. This is also the first vicar for whom we have a likeness in the form of a rather faded but still discernable photograph.
From an inscription on the photograph it appears that Reverend Wylde was buried in Belfry in 1833.'
Hope this helps!
Very best wishes
