ried to Ralph de Arderne, whose grandson Ralph gave this moiety to the prior and convent of Butley; the other moiety he gave to his daughter Helewise, who married Robert Fitz Ralph lord of Middleham, in Yorkshire: this moiety came afterwards to Robert de Ufford, who was twice chief justice of Ireland, and obtained from Edward I. in the eleventh year of his reign, a licence for a weekly market, on Friday; and a fair on the eve, day, and morrow of the nativity of the virgin Mary, September 8, at his manor of Bawdresey. William lord Willoughby died seized of this manor 2 Henry IV. Robert his son had livery 4 Henry V. and sir Robert Willoughby was seized of it 5 Edw. IV. It is now vested in the Countess dowager of Dysart.

The church of Bawdsey was given by Ranulph Glanvile to his priory and convent of Butley, who got it impropriated to them. The Impropriation was granted away after the dissolution; but the advowson of the vicarage remains still in the crown. The tower of this church is the only part of the original structure; and this and the steeple of Alderton form very useful sea marks, the church is very small and was rebuilt from the ruins of the old one, some of the old arches still remain. This parish contains 414 inhabitants.

BING, is only a small hamlet of Pettistree, but perhaps larger formerly; for there was a claim made 14 Edward I. of a right to hold a market

here every Thursday; Joan of Huntingfield had then the manor; but it was afterwards given to Campsey priory, and granted as parcel of the possessions of that priory, to Anthony Wingfield, 30 Henry VIII.

BOULGE, Odo de Campania had Bulges and Depebeck (probably Boulge and Debach) when domesday-book was made. Sir Thomas Hanmer was lord of this manor and of Debach, and patron of both the churches, and his nephew, the Rev. Sir William Bunbury, bart. succeeded him. These benefices being small, and the churches very near each other, sir William procured the consolidation of them. Boulge hall manor now belongs to E. Jenney, esq. 44 inhabitants.

BOYTON. The manor and advowson here were granted as parcel of possessions of Butley priory, to William Fourthe and Richard Moryson, 37 Henry VIII. They afterwards came into the family of Warner, and are now vested in the trustees of Mrs. Mary Warner, who devised them together with an estate of about £400. per annum to charitable uses, viz. a small part of it is appropriated to the poor of Parham another part of it to the endowment of a school at Stradbrook; the chief part to the endowment of an Alms-house here; and the overplus is for the relief of insolvent debtors in Suffolk. The first trustees of this charity in 1743 were the late right hon. Pryce lord Viscount Hereford, the late sir John Barker, bart. Dud

ley North, esq; the late Edmund Tyrrell, esq; the late Rev. Thomas Bence, and the Rev, Mr. Welton. These gentlemen built the Alms-house, called from the foundress, Warner's Almshouse. It contains six poor men, and six poor women, each of whom receives four shillings every Monday morning. The men have also every year new coats, waistcoats, and breeches; and the woman every year, new gowns and petticoats they are all to attend divine service every day at church, which is very near the house; and the reader is allowed forty pounds 208 inhabitants. per annum.

BREDFIELD. William lord Willoughby, Roert his son, and sir Robert Willoughby, had this manor as well as Bawdsey. It is now in E. Jenney, esquire who has a pleasant seat here, the residence of T. White esq. The church of Bredfield was given to the priory of Butley and Campesse who presented alternately to the vicarage, and divided the impropriation. Ever since the dissolution the crown has kept the advowson of the vicarage. This parish

contains 402 inhabitants.

CAPEL ST. ANDREW, was a distinct parish while the church was standing, as it was in

1529; but is now accounted as a Hamlet of Butley. The church was given to Butley priory by Ranulph de Glanvile, and afterwards impropriated thereto. This parish contains 157 inhabitants.

DALLINGHOO. There are five manors in this parish. The manor of Earl of Dallinghoo, belongs to the trustees of Chaloner Archdeckne, the elder esq. deceased, and not to the Earl of Rochford as before mentioned. The other four manors, are, Dallinghoo, Dallinghoo Campsey, Bredfield Campsey, and Bast Brodish, the property of J. Wood, gent.

The steeple stands at the east end of the church, and is used as the chancel; but this occurs from a part of the church having been pulled down, as it formerly stood near the centre of the building.

The widow of Edward, earl of Cornwall, had the hamlet of Dallinghoo, Alderton, and Thorndon, in Suffolk, assigned for her dower. John de Eltham, earl of Cornwall, had a grant of these three hamlets in the fourth of Edward III. This parish contains 303 inhabitants.

HOLLESLY. This manor and advowson belonged to the earls and dukes of Norfolk, till Queen Elizabeth's time. Roger Bigod died possessed 25 Edward III. Thomas Mowbray died seized I, Henry IV. and Elizabeth his wife

had it for her dower. The manor of Hollesly with Sutton, now belong to John Vernon, esq. and the manor of Caldwell Hall, to Robert Bartholp, esq. In the year 1452, several legacies were given towards building the steeple, and buying bells; and about 1511 two legacies were given towards covering the roof of the church with lead. The tower is a good flint structure, and a useful sea mark. This parish contains 575 inhabitants.

LOUDHAM, or LUDHAM, is a hamlet of Pettistree, and was anciently the seat of a family who took their name from it. From the Ludhams it descended to the Blenherhaysetts, who had their seat here; and from them it came to sir Henry Wood, knt. Charles Wood, esq, rebuilt the hall in a beautiful manner; from him it came with the rest of the Wood's estate to Robert Oneby, esq; and from him to sir William Chapman, and is now the seat of C. Devon esq. This is a neat red brick building.

MELTON. The manor with the advowson belonged formerly to the dean and chapter of Ely. But the manor is now the property of Mrs. Christabelle Burroughs. The quartersessions for the liberty of St. Etheldred, were formerly held in this parish; but were removed to Woodbridge, in the beginning of queen Elizabeth's reign. In the will of Richard Cook, of Melton, dated July the 12th 1539, is a legacy of £20. towards repairing of Willford
