Ballingdon 1848 Whites directory
BALLINGDON CUM BRUNDON has been annexed by the Reform Acts of 1832 and 1835 to the Borough of Sudbury, in Suffolk, from which it is separated only by the river Stour. It contains 813 acres and 843 inhabitants, and was formerly a separate parish ; but its ancient church, which stood at Brundon, about amile from Ballingdon street, went to decay many years ago, and no traces of it are now extant. The inhabitants use All Saints Church, in Sudbury, and contribute towards its reparation, and the incumbent has a yearly stipend of £13. 6s. 8d. from the impropriators of the tithes. The township is in two manors, viz. , Brundon and Ballingdon, and W. H. Windham, Esq. , is lord of the former, and John Sperling, Esq. , of the latter. They are also impropriators of the tithes. In 1719, John Littell gave a house in St. Gregory’s parish, Sudbury, in trust, to apply the rent in educating six poor children of Ballingdon- cum- Brundon, and All Saints parish, in Sudbury. The house is now let for £12 a year, for which a schoolmaster here instructs 12 poor children, six from each parish, nominated by the vicars. The poor of Ballingdon and Sudburyhave £4 a year from the Corporation, as interest of benefactions left by George Crow and Joseph Hunwick.
