Pebmarsh 1848 Whites Directory
PEBMARSH, a village, near the source of a rivulet, 3½ miles N. of Halstead, has a large silk factory, and its parish contains 614 souls, and 1978 acres of land. Lady Puller is lady of the manor, which was anciently held by the Bigod and Fitz- Ralph families, the latter of whom took the sirname of De Pebmers, and were long seated at the Hall, which stood in Castle Meadow. J. Sperling, Esq., the Rev. W. H. Chapman, Capt. Car- ter, Mrs. Bygrave, and several residents, have estates in the parish. The farm called Spoons Hall belongs to the Earl of Verulam, who is patron of the rectory, valued in K.B. at £10, and in 1831 at £457, and now in the incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. E. H. Grimston, M.A., who has 26л. 2в. of glebe, and a handsome residence, built about six years ago. The Church (St. John the Baptist,) is a fine ancient structure, which was repewed about 15 years ago, when a gallery was erected. It has a tower and three bells, and its spacious aisles are separated from the nave by light pillars, supporting Gothic arches. The tithes were commuted in 1838, for £683 per annum. Afair for toys and pleasure is held here on June 24th ; and here is a farmers’ club, called the Pebmarsh Society . The parish school was built in 1787, and, as a Sunday school, is endowed with £7. 14s. 4d. per annum, arising from stock purchased with £200 left by the Hon. and Rev. H. G. Bucknall, in 1817. The parish has long held, for the use of the poor, a cottage and garden, occupied by paupers, and a cottage and 3R. of land, let for £5 per annum.
