DEOPHAM,
or Deepham parish, 2½
miles
S.E. of
Hingham, includes the small village of Deopham
Green, many scattered houses, 525 souls, and 1626 acres of land, belonging
to a number of proprietors, and lying in two manors, of which Lord Wodehouse and
the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury are lords. The latter are appropriators of
the rectory and patrons of the vicarage,
valued in K.B. at £5. 7s. 11d., and in 1831 at £204, being augmented from 1716
to '18, with £70, given by them ; £130, given by the Rev. Henry Rix, and £200
of Q.A.B., all laid out in land at Shipdham. The Rev. Richard Adams is the
incumbent, and Misses Ames, of Bath, are lessees of the rectory. The Church (St. Andrew,) is a large edifice, with a square tower, half a
mile from the village. Here is a fine elm,
90 feet high; and a large lime tree of the same height, was cut down in the
parish, in 1705, the trunk of which was from 8½
to 16 Yards in girth. The Primitive Methodists have two small chapels here. In
1726, the Rev. Henry Rix left £60 for schooling poor children, &c., and it
was laid out in the purchase of 4A. 1R. 32P. of land, now let for £7, out of
which 32s. is paid for teaching four poor children, 10s. for a sermon, 1s. to
the clerk, and the rest is distributed in bread among the poor parishioners. The
Charter Acre was exchanged at the enclosure for IA. 38P., let for 30s., of which
11s. is paid annually to the sheriff for renewing the “town charter," and
the residue is carried to the church rates. The Fuel
Allotment, awarded at the enclosure in 1814, consists of 14A. 2R. 13P., let
for about £23 a year, which is distributed in coals and bread.
