Whites 1855 Directory
HOLTON ST. MARY, a small parish and village, 4 � miles S.S.E. of Hadleigh, and 9 miles S.W. of Ipswich, contains 192 souls and 837 acres of land, nearly all freehold, and mostly belonging to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and partly to Robert Lawson, James Rumsey, and a few smaller owners. The manor anciently belonged to the Fastolfs, afterwards to the Mannocks, and then to Sir John Williams, from whose family it passed to Sir Wm. Rowley, Kt. The Church (St. Mary) is a Rectory, valued in K..B. at �7 14s. 7d, and in 1835 at .�257, but now having 33 acres of glebe, and a yearly rent charge of .�220, awarded in lieu of tithes, in 1837. Sir J. R. Rowley, Bart., is patron ; and the Rev. Joshua Rowley, M.A., of East Bergholt, is the incumbent. Here is a Charity School which was established and endowed by the exertions and through the pecuniary aid of the Rev. Stephen White, a late rector, and for some time it was supported chiefly by annual contributions, but the only subscription now regularly paid to it is �8. 3s. a year from Corpus Christi College. The property of the school is as follows:—A school-house was erected on the waste, which, with a garden of 10 perches, was conveyed by Sir Francis Mannock, lord of the manor, to trustees, in 1749. The Town Pightle, 6 acres, was demised in 1755, by the churchwardens and overseers to the rector and his successors for 99 years, for the use of the school, at the yearly rent of 18s., to be distributed among the poor at Easter. The Dock Meadow, 3A., in Stratford, let for �6 a year, was given by the Rev. Stephen White, in trust, that the rents should he applied in raising premiums, to be given in October, to the children in the school, or those who have been taught there, and could bring certificates of good behaviour. Two cottages, let for �3 each, were built by the trustees, on the site of one granted by the lord of the manor, on lease, at the yearly rent of one penny. The trustees have also upwards of �500 three per cent, stock, purchased with benefactions and surplus income. The yearly income from these sources is about �32. The master has �12. 12 a year, and the use of the school premises, for which he instructs, as free scholars, 16 boys and 9 girls in reading, writing, and arithmetic. The remainder of the income is applied in furnishing books and rewards for the children, and a suit of clothes for each on leaving school. The Town Pightle, noticed above, will revert to the poor in 1855. A cottage belonging to the poor was sold, in 1803, for �20, which was applied towards making the Town Well, towards repairing which a yearly rent charge is paid out of a piece of land adjoining the churchyard. The sum of �30, left to the poor by one Partridge and other donors, is lent on interest The poor parishioners have 20s. yearly from Glanville's Charity, as noticed with Higham. In 1773, the Rev. STEPHEN WHITE left �500 in trust, to pay one-half of the interest thereof to the rector of Holton, (provided he resides in the parish or neighhourhood; if not, to the curate,) for his own use; and to apply the other moiety, in four equal shares, for the parishes of Holton, Stratford, Nayland, aud Brantham, for distribution among the poor. This charity now consists of two sums of �321. 7S., one, belonging to the rector, and the other to the poor of the four parishes. Post via Colchester.
