Ilketshall Public Houses

ILKETSHALL ST. ANDREW in 1844,  4 miles S. E. of Bnngay, and S.W. by W. of Beccles, is a parish containing 548 souls, and 1696a. of strong loamy land. Its houses are scattered round the margins of several greens, lying east of the other Ilketshalls, and being, like them, in the Duke of Norfolk's Liberty. The soil belongs to William Adair, Esq., Lord George Beresford, Rev. J. Day, J. Garden, Esq., Rev. C. Clark, Thomas Farr, Esq., and several smaller owners. The Church (St. Andrew) is an ancient structure, on a commanding eminence. It is of flint and stone, and its tower is circular at the base, and octangular at the top. The benefice is a discharged vicarage, valued in K.B. at £5. 13s. 4d., and in l835 at £139. It has 28a. of glebe, and a small parsonage, and is in the patronage of Bungay Grammar School, and incumbency of the Rev. John Gilbert. The rectorial tithes belong to Mrs. Ann Scott, and several of the principal landowners. The Wesleyans have a small chapel here, of flint and white brick, erected in 1840. The Town Estate comprises a double cottage, and 2a of land, let for £11 10s. a year; and 7a. called Redisham Close, let for £10 a-year. One half of the rents is applied to the reparation of the church, and the remainder in defraying other public expenses of the parish.
