Notes

  • The "Names" given in the Land Tax appear to be "Occupiers"? when normally Proprietors are found on similar documents for other parishes.
  • Total valuation is £230.
  • The Rector the Revd Mr John Hare (d. 1769) had held this post since 1730. He was presented (to the post) by his eldest brother Thomas Hare of Hargham. Hugh Hare (b. 1729 d. 1810) is the son and heir of this Thomas Hare. This John Hare was also the rector of Wilby.
  • The "Leeder" above may be related to a Robert Leader who was a Churchwarden from 1713-1724.
  • Hargham is also written as "Harpham" in some records.
