Public houses in South Elmham
SOUTHELMHAM ST. MARGARET in 1844, 5 miles S.S.W. of Bungay, is
a village and parish, containing 181 souls, and 589 acres of land, now rated at
the annual value of £1008. 5s. Part of it belongs to several small proprietors,
and the remainder to William. Adair, Esq., the lord of the manor, and patron of
the Church, which was repaired and repewed in 1838, and is a small structure,
with a tower and five bells. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in K.B.
at £6 2s. 11d., and consolidated with that of Southelmham St. Peter, in the
incumbency of the Rev Adolphus Holmes, M.A. The tithes of this parish have been
commuted for £136, and those of St. Peter's, for £145 per annum, exclusive of
the yearly payment of £2 2s. to the Dean and Chapter of Norwich, £1 8s. to
William. Adair, Esq., and 10s. 6d. to Lord Berners. The Town Estate comprises a
house and about 50a. of laud, let for £65 a year. It is partly freehold and
partly copyhold, and has been vested in feoffees from an early period, in trust
to apply the rents in discharging the fifteenths, tenths, taxes, and such other
common charges of the parishioners, as the feoffees should think necessary. The
income is mostly applied in the service of the church, and the remainder is
added to the poor rates. A cottage, called the Town House, and a small piece of
land adjoining, were appropriated at an early period for the reparation of the
highways. They are let for 30s. a year, which is added to the rent of the Town
Estate.
