CHURCHES.
Here are two parish Churches, St. Clement's and All Saints. About thirty years ago they were separate livings, but being very poor ones, from the little land within the parishes, they were united into one Rectory, which does not much exceed £150 per annum. The living is in the private patronage of Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart, and the present incumbent is the Rev. William Coppard. The Churches are both very ancient fabrics, though it is uncertain when they were built, as no account is to be found concerning them. In St. Clement's, commonly called the Lower Church, are several curious inscriptions in brass and marble.
On the north side of the chancel, within a large gilt frame, is one that deserves to be recorded.
