Halsted 1848 Whites Directory
HALSTEAD is a neat but irregularly built market town, pleasantly situated on both sides of the valley of the small river Colne, and on the high roads from London to BurySt. Edmund’s, and from Colchester to Cambridge, 6 miles N.E. by N. of Braintree, 8 miles S.W. by S. of Sudbury, 14 miles W.N.W. of Colchester, and 46 miles N.E. of London. Arailway is now being extended to it from the Colchester, Stour Valley, and Sudbury line, near Wakes Colne, and it will be finished in 1848. The town rises picturesquely on the opposite acclivities of the valley, and has three large silk and crape factories, belonging to Messrs. Courtauld and Co., who employ here about a thousand hands. Many of the women and children of the town and neighbourhood are partially employed in making straw plat. Halstead is in Braintree Polling Dis- trict, but is the head of a County Court District, and of the large Union. Its PARISH increased its population from 3380 souls in 1801 , to 5710 in 1841 , and extends over 5425 acres of land, including the hamlet of GREENSTED GREEN, 2 miles S. by E. of the town ; and many scattered farm houses, and some neat mansions bearing different names. The market is held on Tuesdays, when some business is done in corn by farmers and dealers at two of the inns ; and here are twofairs for cattle , &c. , on May 6th and October 29th. Petty Sessions are held in the room over the Literary and Mechanics’ Insti- tution, every alternate Tuesday, for the South Division of Hinckford Hundred, which has a Police Station, in part of the old prison, which was formerly used as a divisional House of Correction, and was built in 1782, and had two treadwheels, 8 wards, 5 day rooms, and 35 cells.
After conviction, prisoners are now sent to the county gaol at Springfield. Mr. Orbell Hustler is clerk to the magistrates, and also supt. registrar and clerk of Halstead Union. The COUNTY COURT is held monthly in the Sessions room for the 14 parishes of Earl’s, Engaine, and White Colne ; Gosfield, Halstead, Castle and Sible Hedingham, Great and Little Maplestead, Pebmarsh, Tilbury, Toppesfield, and Great and Little Yeldham ; for which district George Sperling, Esq. , is clerk, and Mr. John Johnson, bailiff. The town has been much improved, and many new houses erected during the last twenty years.
Though there are gas works in the town (belonging to R. E. Greenwood, Esq. , ) there are no public lamps, but the ratepayers have recently determined to light the principal streets and thoroughfares dur- ing the winter months, and to keep their fire- engines in good working condition. High street is of considerable length, and has many good houses, shops, and inns, as also have several of the other streets.
A market appears to have been established here in the time of the Saxons, as indicated by the name of Chepping Hill, being anciently given to the original market place. The proprietorship of this market was retained by the Crown till 1215, when it was granted to Abel de St. Martin, who held two knights’ fees in Halstead and Belchamp, under Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. He was indicted by Hugh de Vere for setting up a market at Halstead to the injury of that at Castle Hedingham ; but on producing the royal grant, and proving the town’s prescriptive rights, the difference was adjusted, Abel agreeing to pay the earl half a mark yearly, and to remove the market from the high road to its ancient station on Chepping- hill, where it remained till the reign of Elizabeth, when it was again fixed in its present situation, near the centre of the town. At Domesday Survey, the parish was held by the Earl of Clare, the Earl of Warren, and Robert Malet, lord of the barony of Eye ; and it afterwards passed to the De Hausted, St. Martin, Bourchier, Maldon, Tryon, Blamster, Baddlesmere, Simnell, Gernon, Hipworth, Munchency, and other an- cient families, some of whose names are still attached to old houses in the parish. The Earl of Mornington is now lord of the principal manor called Bois Hall, or Abels ; but a great part of the parish belongs to W. P. Honeywood, Esq. , the Rev. B. Harvey, T. T. Fowke, Esq. , and several smaller owners, mostly copyholders, subject to arbitrary fines. Stansted Hall, now a farm house, 1½ mile S.S.E. of the town, belongs to W. P. Honeywood, Esq. , and was for many generations a baronial seat of the Bourchier family. Only a wing of the old mansion is now standing. Benj. Gilson, surgeon, occupies the fine old mansion called Blue Bridge, which was anciently a seat of the Munchency family. P. S. F. Martin, Esq. , resides at Sloe Farm, which belonged to the Vere, Hunwick, and other families, and afterwards to Charles Hanbury, Esq. , who erected the present elegant mansion on a pleasant eminence above the river Colne. Halstead Lodge, the seat of J. N. Brewster, Esq.; Star Stile, the residence of Geo. De Horne Vaizey, Esq.; Ashford Lodge, belonging to Firmin de Tastet, Esq.; and Howė Park, the seat of Edward Hornor, Esq. , are neat modern mansions, with pleasant grounds.
HALSTEAD PARISH CHURCH (St. Andrew,) is a large building of great antiquity, but has undergone many alterations, and is now in a very dilapidated state, the roof being propped to prevent its falling, until funds can be raised for the necessary repairs, either by church rates or voluntary sub- scription. It is the head of the Rural Deanery of Halstead; but, owing to its present dangerous state and the unsightly wooden props which now disfigure it, the Bishop of Rochester held his last visitation in Holy Tri- nity Church. It is a cemented structure, and has a nave, side aisles, and chancel, with a square tower, containing six bells, and crowned by a wooden spire, which is the third that has been erected on the present tower, the two former ones being destroyed by lightning. The first spire was de- stroyed in 1701, and the second was built in 1717, at the expense of Samuel Fiske, an apothecary of the town, whose friend, Prior, the poet, wrote a poetical effusion on the subject. In the chancel and its aisles, are several handsome mural monuments, and two ancient tombs, each bearing the recumbent effigy of a Knight Templar and Lady, supposed to have belonged to the Bourchier family of Stansted Hall, one of whom founded a chantry here in 1340, for a master and five priests, pursuant to the will of his grandfather, Robert, Earl of Essex and Lord Chancellor of England. The college, or chantry house, stood in the centre of the town, and its yearly revenues were valued at £34. 4s. 3d. at the dissolution. The vicarage, va- lued in K.B. at £17, and in 1831 at £392, is in the patronage of the Bishop of London, and incumbency of the Rev. Wm. Adams, D.D., who has a good residence and about 34. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1838, the vicarial for £470, and the rectorial for £1350 per annum. The latter belong to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s, but are leased to the Sparrow family, of Gosfield.
HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, on Chapel hill, was erected in 1843-4, for the accommodation of the southern part of the town, at the cost of about £5000 ; of which £3000 was given by Mrs. Gee, of Earl’s Colne, and the rest by many smaller contributors. It is an elegant flint and stone structure of Early English architecture, and has a spire, which rises to the height of 174 feet. The spire, when nearly completed in 1844, fell down, and was rebuilt in a more substantial mannar. The benefice is a perpetual curacy, which has been endowed by the Ecclesiasti- cal Commissioners with £150 per annum, and is in the patronage of the Bishop of London, and incumbency of the Rev. D. Fraser, M.A. On Chapel hill, now a populous part of the town, there was an ancient chapel, de- dicated to the Holy Trinity, but all traces of it disappeared many years ago.
ST. JAMES’ CHURCH, at Greenstead Green, two miles S. of the town, was built in 1844-5, for the accommodation of the inhabitants of the southern parts of this extensive parish, at the expense of Mrs. Gee, the pious and benevolent lady who contributed so largely towards the erection of the above- named church. It is a handsome structure, chiefly of flint, and has a tower containing six bells, and crowned by a spire. The interior is fitted up with open seats,, and the windows are enriched with stained glass. The pulpit is of stone, and on its sides are small figures of Christ and the four Evangelists, in niches. The liberal foundress has erected near the church a school, and a neat house for the minister. The benefice is a perpetual curacy, endowed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and now valued at £200 per annum, in the patronage of the Bishop of Roches- ter, and incumbency of the Rev. Charles Burney, M.A. DISSENTERS have five chapels in the town, one of which is an old Friends’ Meeting- house, at Clipt-hedges. The Independents have two chapels, one in Parsonage lane, built in 1711 , but afterwards repaired and enlarged; and the other in High street, erected in 1833, at the cost of about £2000, and having 900 sittings.
Here are also two Baptist Chapels, built in 1833 and 1840. Day and Sun- day Schools, and Religious Institutions, are liberally supported by the church and dissenting congregations ; and the parish has a Free Gram- mar School, and various Charities for the poor, as afterwards noticed.
Halstead Literary and Mechanics’ Institution occupies a handsome building erected about ten years ago, and having a large upper room, in which the petty sessions, lectures, &c., are held. It has about 140 members, and a library of about 800 volumes. Mr. Thomas Swindells is secretary, and James Daniels, librarian. Here is a Labourers’ Friend and Agricultural Society, and a Floral and Horticultural Society ; and among the provident institutions of the town are several Friendly and two Building Societies, and a Savings’ Bank. The latter was established in 1816, and B. Gilson, Esq. , is its treasurer.
The Church Lands, &c , comprise 15A., let for £22 ; Bellrope Meadow, (3A.) let for £4 ; a stable, let for £1 ; and a yearly rent of 5s. , in consideration of a few rods of land intermixed with an estate belonging to Mr. Taylor. It is not knownhow the churchwardens acquired this property, from which they derive a yearly income of £27.5s. The annual sum of 8s. 7d. derived from a small sum of3 per cent. stock, is applied in repairing the tombs of Messrs. Gurney and Moss. The surplus, if any, is given to the poor.
MARTIN’S CHARITY :-In 1573, William Martin left for the foundation of a free school, and the relief of the poor, all his lands and tenements here, called Cooe’s and Shellard’s, now comprising about 47A. andtwelve cottages. Aschool having been founded by Lady Ramsey, as noticed below, the whole yearly pro- ceeds of Martin’s Charity has always been applied to the reliefof the poor.
The Charity is now managed by Isaac Sewell, T. Smoothy, and four other feoffees. The following small charities have always been vested with the same trustees, and are now blended with Martin’s Charity, viz . , £50, left by one Weaver ; ayearly rent of 13s. 4d. , left by an unknown donor, out of a field near Crowbridge ; £55. 11s. 6d. derived from the sale of the materials of the Market Cross, in 1816 ; £100 left by Edmund King, in 1624; £200 given by Mr. Hastler, in 1833 ; and the Polling Wood, which contains 18A. 3R. 23P. of land, which was cleared in 1811, when a clear profit of about £700 was derived from the sale of the timber. The feofees are now possessed of £1000 three and a half per cent. stock, purchased with savings of income and the above-named legacies .
Their total clear yearly income from stock and real property is about £240, which is distributed among the poor parishioners in linen, clothing, shoes, &c. The FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL was built by Lady Mary Ramsey, who, in 1594, gave the manor of Colne Engaine to the Governors of Christ’s Hospital, inLondon, on condition that they should visit and repair the said school, and allow £20 per annum to the schoolmaster for the education of 40 free scholars of this parish, or if Halsted could not furnish that number of ” sons of the poorest sort of people,” the foundress directed that the remainder might be selected fromany of the parishes within the distance of eight miles. The school house was repaired in 1835-6, at the cost of about £1000 . The school room will ac- commodate 100 boys, and there is an excellent house for the master, with room for a considerable number of boarders. There are seldom more than 25 free scholars, and they are taught only English reading, writing, and arithmetic ; -Latin and Greek being of little use to the poor.
The Rev. John Manistre, who died in 1827, directed his executors to purchase as much stock as would realise £80 a year, and invest the sumwith the minister, churchwardens, and overseers of Halstead, in trust, that the yearly dividends mightbe applied in weekly distributions of bread to 21 poor parishioners attending the church. The stock purchased consists of £2666. 13s. 4d. three per cent.
Consols. Every Sunday 21 loaves, worth 1s. 4d. each, are given to 21 poor people.
In 1734, William Pooleleft two yearly rent charges, viz, £2 out of the Queen’s Head, and £3 outof Clapfield House, in trust, to be divided yearly among his poor relations, or in default thereof, among the poor residing near the said houses. John Tweed, at an unknown date, left a yearly rent charge of £5. 4s . out of Ridgwell Farm, for a distribution of 4s. worth of bread every other Sunday, among 16 aged poor parishioners. In 1772, Sarah Tweed gave a yearly rent charge of 40s. out of a house here, for distribution in bread at Christmas.
In 1783, ELIZABETH HOLMES bequeathed to the vicar of Halstead and six other trustees £4000 three per cent. Consolidated Bank Annuities, in trust, to apply the dividends yearly as follows, viz. , £8 for repairing three monuments in the churchyard; £94 in gifts of £2 each to industrious poor parishioners ; 52s. for a weekly distribution of four three-penny loaves; 20s. a piece to the trustees for their trouble ; £8 for the expenses of the trustees who go to London to receive the dividends; and 8s. to the person who distributes the weekly bread.
