Fountaine, Esq. the lord of the manor and patron of the rectory, valued in the King's book at £10 18s. 1½d., and in 1831 at £575. The Rev. Jno. Fountaine is the encumbent. The Church, dedicated to St. George, has a low tower with three bells, and in a chapel adjoining the north wall is the tomb and effigy of a Knight Templar, supposed to represent Sir Eudo Harsicke, who died in 1292; and at the east end is another altar tomb, with effigies of Sir Edward Barkham and his lady. On the pavement is a fine old brass, and within an arch in the chancel lies the figure of a man, carved in oak, and the fragments of several statues remain in various parts of the church. Here was formerly a house for lepers, dedicated to St. Bartholomew, and the site is still called Batholomew hill. The principal residents are the Rev. J. Fountaine, M.A., vicarage; and Wm. B. Clark, and Walter Orbell Palmer, farmers.
