Sum of nine pounds a year paid to Vicar being rent of a cottage known
as the Old Vicarage and situate in Causey St. No better than a stable,
however such as it is, is kept in sufficient repair and sorry we are

in the same state now as heretofore, nothing pulled down or defaced.

David Williams Vicar.
Where do you reside?
There is a small thatched house but unfit for any incumbent to live in.
I live at private lodgings.

Being incumbent I do not reside in the House belonging to it as it is
but small, consisting of but one room.
My Church is close to the house where I board.
Our vicar resides close by the churchyard wall.
