Ilketshall Public Houses

ILKETSHALL ST. MARGARET, 4 miles S. by E. of Bnngay, is a straggling village and parish, containing 315 souls, and 2090a. 2r. 16p. of land. William Adair, Esq., is lord of the manor, but a great part of the soil belongs to Lady Beresford, Mr. J. G. Chaston, and several smaller owners. The Church is a small structure, with a tower and three bells, and the living is a discharged vicarage, valued in K.B. at £5. 13s. 9d., and in 1835 at £131. Mrs. Patteson is patroness and impropriator, and the Rev. Patrick Bassinghall Beath incumbent. The glebe is 15 acres. The tithes have been commuted for yearly moduses of £528 to the impropriator; £121 to the vicar; and £15 to the rector of Ilketshall St. John. The Town Estate, consisting of two tenements and 24a. of land, let for £28 a year, has been vested from an early period for the reparation of the church and other public uses. The poor have about £5 yearly, left by Henry Smith, in 1626, out of an estate at Tolleshunt-Darcy. in Essex. A limited number of the tenants of the four parishes of Ilketshall, have the privilege of pasturing a certain number of cattle on Stow Fen.
