I am doing some family tree research and have come across a man who in the 1860s and 70s was a vestry clerk. Was he a low ranked clergyman?

I think a "vestry clerk", is actually something to do with the law courts, have a look at the link posted below, there's a "vestry clerk" in all his splendour, hope this helps.http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/vmgallery/general/medium.asp?gallery=vm_democracy&img=democracy/thumb/vm_lg_0019.jpg&size=medium

He would have been a layman employed to look after the church administration.
