A Patron of the Living is someone who 'owns' the living or patronage of a church. In the past he/she had the right to appoint most church officials in their parish and most of all the actual vicar, which was often a way to give younger members of their families jobs. Nowadays the position is merely a title and has no meaning but some patrons still have a say in the choosing of future vicars.
