Ilketshall Public Houses

ILKETSHALL ST. LAWRENCE, comprises several scattered houses near the church, on the Halesworth road, 3 miles S.S.E. of Bungay, and the hamlet of St. Lawrence Green, 1 1/2 miles S. of the church. Its parish contains 221 souls, and 988 acres of land. It is mostly in Sir W. W. Dallinsg's manor of Bardolph, but the soil belongs to the Rev. J. Day, Sir E. Kerrison, Col. Bence, Lady Beresford, William. Adair, Esq., the Rev. R. A. Arnold, and a few smaller owners. The Church (St. Lawrence) is a small structure, and the benefice is a perpetual curacy, valued in 1835 at £47. The Rev. J. Day, of Hethersett, Norfolk, is patron and impropriator, and the Rev. James Culling Safford, of Mettingham, is the incumbent. It was appropriated to the nuns of Bungay. Part of a large ancient Hall is divided into small tenements, and the remainder was taken down many years ago.
