Bulmer 1848 Whites Directory
BULMER, a pleasant village, on an eminence, 2 miles W.S.W. of Sudbury, has in its parish 775 souls and 2705 acres of land, including the small village of Bulmer Tye, on the high road, more than a mile south of the church, and several scattered farm houses, &c. A small pleasure fair is held at the Tye on Holy Thursday. Earl Howe is lord of the principal manors, and owner of a great part of the soil ; but Robert Preston, Esq. , is lord of the small manor of Goldingham Hall; and J. H. Powell, Esq., islord of the manor of Smeeton, or Smeetham Hall. Caledon Dupré Alexander, Esq. , has a large and handsome seat called AUBERIES, on a commanding eminence, about half a mile east of the church, built on the site of an ancient man- sion, about 40 years ago, by the late Lady Aubery. The front has an elegant portico, with four fluted pillars, and the house is encompassed by abeautiful and well-wooded park and extensive gardens. The late C. Greenwood, Esq., purchased this seat, and left it in 1831 to C. Ham- mersley, Esq. , who sold it to Colonel Meyrick. The Church ( St. An- drew,) is a plain antique fabric, with an ivy-mantled tower, containing three bells. It had a chantry, and was appropriated to Brusyard Ab- bey. The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £8, and in 1831 at £445, with that of Belchamp- Walter annexed to it, is in the patronage of S. M. Raymond, Esq. , and incumbency of the Rev. Oliver Raymond, LL.B., of Middleton, who has here 2A. of glebe, but no parsonage house.
The tithes were commuted in 1844, the vicarial for £330, and the rectorial for £500 per annum. The latter belong to Capt. Byles.
A school has recently been built here by Mrs. Alexander, and is supported by her .
