In
the document dated from 4th June 1735 written by William LUGAR and Robert
BRADSTREET, the fence which separated the Vicarage Yard from the Church was
rotten and shattered so a new one was made. Close by and touching the
'Pales' were 7 Ash trees, and were seen as ornaments to the front of the
vicarage House. One was dead and another was partly decayed, so the Vicar
cut them down considering them a nuisance because they darkened the house.
Some of the trees he put near the fence parting his backyard from his
garden. The rest were in the churchyard ready for future use. In another
document dated 1770, the Vicar had a glebe of two and half acres, a house,
Garden, Orchard, Stable, Coach House and forty shillings a year paid from
the Tithes. The vicarage was valued in 1831 as £262 and was in the
patronage of the Lord Chancellor and incumbency of the Rev. Henry Bishop.
The rectory house and great tithes were held on lease by William Webb under
the Archdeacon. The tithes were leased, the rectorial for £1360 p.a. and
the vicarial for £325 p.a.
