Chedburgh Public Houses & Chedburgh in 1865
CHEDBURGH in 1844, is a pleasant village,
near the source of a rivulet, 7 1/2 miles S.W. of Bury, and 10 miles N.N.E. of
Clare, has in its small parish 284 souls, and 508 acres of land. Two small
portions belong to Mr. Thomas Green and Mr. William Rutter, and the remainder to
the
Marquis of Bristol, who is lord of the manor, and patron of the Church (All
Saints,) which has a spire steeple, and is a discharged rectory, valued in K.B.
at £4. 2s. 8d., and now having 28a. of glebe, and a yearly modus of £150,
awarded in 1839. Until about seven years ago, it was united with Ickworth. The
Rev. George Ingram is the present incumbent.
The poor parishioners have £4 a year from Sir Robert Drury's Charity, and a poor
widow of Chedworth and Rede alternately, is entitled to be placed in the
almshouse founded by him at Hawstead. The donations of Henry and Oliver Sparrow,
for the rector and poor, were laid out, in the 8th of James I., in the purchase
of 3a. 2r. of land at Langham, now let for £3. 10s. a year, of which the rector
retains two-thirds, and distributes the remainder among poor parishioners,
together with a yearly rent-charge of 10s., left by Anthony Sparrow, out of a
mill at Stanstead. In 1815, the Hon. William Hervey left £180, long annuities,
to nine annuitants, in sums of £20 each, and after their decease, to his nephew,
the Earl of Bristol (now Marquis of Bristol,) in trust, for any object of
charity he might think proper. After the payment of legacy duty, this bequest
was reduced to £162 a year, long annuities, which were afterwards sold, and the
proceeds laid out in the purchase of £4185. 10s., three per cents, reduced
annuities, now vested in trust, subject to the annuities payable to the
surviving annuitants, for the education of such poor children of Chedburgh,
Horningsheath, Ickworth, and the adjoining parishes, as the trustees think
proper objects of charity, in the then schools of Chedburgh and Horningsheath,
or elsewhere. In 1830, two of the nine annuitants were dead, and their shares
had become available to this charity. The trustees in that year paid £16. 10s.
for the teaching of 12 children in Chedburgh School, which was built at the
expense of the Marquis of Bristol, and applied the remainder of the income
towards the support of schools at Rede and Horningsheath.
