BELCHAMP, (OTTEN) a pleasant scattered village 6 miles W. of Sudbury, has in its parish 375 souls and 1688 acres of land. Samuel Sampson, Esq., is lord of the manor; but a great part of the soil belongs toGeo. Thistlewood, George Offord, H. H. Baker, W. Parmenter, and J. Pratt, Esqrs., and several smaller owners . In the reign of Henry II. , one of the ancient family of Otto, or Othon, held the manor of Otten Belchamp Hall, and it afterwards passed to the Botetourt and other families. The HALL was nearly all rebuilt on a larger scale in 1845.
The Church (All Saints) is a small neat fabric, which was repaired in 1847, and has a modern tower and three bells. The rectory, valued in KB. at £12, and now at £355, is in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. Edward Hy Dawson, M.A., who has a good residence and 3A. 1R. 25P. of glebe. His tithes were commuted in 1840 for £443 per annum.
The poor of this parish and Little Yeldham have £8 a year as the rent of a house and 24. of land in the latter parish, left by John Cooke, in the 1st of Philip and Mary. The Church Land comprises 8A. , let for about £20, and bequeathed in 1498 by John Pryce, partly for superstitious uses. For Belchamp St. Ethelbert, or All-brights, see Ovington.
