Whites 1855 Directory

ERWARTON, or Arwarton, a pleasant village, on the north bank of the Stow, near the confluence of that broad estuary with the Orwell, is distant 9 miles S.E. by S. of Ipswich, and overlooks the harbour of Harwich, on the opposite side of the Stour. Its parish contains 247 souls, and 1318A. In. 17P. of land, generally a sandy loam, and mostly freehold, belonging to John Berners, Esq., the lord of the manor, which was anciently the seat and property of the Daviller family, whose heiress carried it in marriage to Sir Robt. Bacon, who, in 1345, obtained a grant for a market and fair here. It afterwards passed to the Calthorpes, and was purchased by Sir Philip Parker, Kt., of Sir D. Drury, about the year 1577. Philip Parker, of Erwarton, was created a baronet in 1661; and the last representative of his family. Sir Philip Parker Long, died in 1741, when the manor passed to his daughter, Lady Chedworth; and after her death, it went to the Berners family, of Woolverstone. The ancient Hall, which was the seat of the Parkers, is now a farm house, commanding fine views of the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell, and having an entrance gateway, supposed to have been built in the reign of Elizabeth, and still in good preservation. The Church (St. Mary) stands on a bold eminence, overlooking the Stour, and is a neat structure, which was thoroughly repaired, and the chancel rebuilt, in 1838-'9. At the same time, the pews were removed from the nave and aisles, and open sittings for 250 hearers substituted in their place. Here are several monuments, in good preservation, erected to the memory of the Daviller, Calthorpe, Bacon, and Parker families. The rectory, valued in K.B. at �10. 13s. 4d., has that of Woolverstone annexed to it, and has now a yearly rent charge of �544 in lieu of tithes, awarded in 1838, viz., �805 for the tithes of Erwarton, and �239 for those of Woolverstone. John Berners, Esq., is the patron, and the Rev. Ralph Berners, M.A., is the incumbent, and has here 20A. 35P. of glebe, and a good parsonage house, erected about 15 years ago. The poor parishioners have three cottages, and 1A. 2K. of land, left by Philip Parker, Esq. Here is a National School, for boys and girls, supported by subscription.
