& repair'd the rest) I appoint to sit for my time being. Anne Spershot of
Steeplecourt & Edw: Hacket upon the Hill above the Mill reserving a
place for tie parsonage house, here was never any seat before.
2. Next to that which was the Parsonage seat, I have repair'd &
Appoint Lawrence Chamberlaine & his familie at Freeground to sit in.

persons houses are in Church lane.

Wm. Hanbury M,A. Rector 1680
At the Death of the late Rector there was in the chancell a large
square vacant place in the middle; and only long narrow seats against
the walls on each side; and tose very ruinous; and a passage to the
Chancel-door just behind the Reading Pew: By me the present Rector
and by my friends at my request these old ruinous seats were taken
down on each side, from the Reading Pew on the one side and tire
Clark's seat on the other (which the parish claim by custom and are to
be kept in repair by them) to the steps that lead up to the communion-
Table; and new large square Pews erected in their room and in the
vacant square; leaving only an Alley thro out of the same breadth with
that thro the body of the Church; and a passage under the Wall on the
Southside to the Chancel! Door. The seats on each side the communion
Tble being Pews (and the only ones then in the chancel!) and in repair
remain as they were. At this time also were put in two large new
windows (on each side one) opposite to each other before which the
Chancel was very dark as the body of the church is now. Therefore
(the Persons being all dead that were placed in the Chancell by the late
Rector) I the present Rector do make the following new settlement
for my time being.
A new settlement of the seats in the Chancell.
South side
1. The first seat contigous to the Reading-Pew I reserve for the
Parsonage house. This seat I built at mine own charge. I found
all the Timber for the frame and halie the charge of the new great
Window near it also.
2. The next seat to that I appoint Mr Robert Stears of Fairthorne to
sit in for my time being. This seat the said Mr. Stears built at his own
proper cost and charge; and was at the other halfs of the charge of the
Great Window near it.
3. The next seat to that John Bolton built at his own proper cost and
charge. And therefore I appoint him and his wife and family to sit
therein for my time being. He lives in Botly Street and owns Coppy hold.
(*Mr Missing's Tenant now sits in this seat by my error.)
(Capn. Missing gave me two Guineas for it.)**
4. The Old seat against the Communion Table I reserve for the
Parsonage servants.
I have since appointed Mr. William Stares of Barn: Farm (in
consideration of the Guinea paid me) to sit in this seat.
The Chancel new-seated And two Windows put in Anno 1715
North side
1. The first seat adjoining to the Clark's seat I appoint for my time
being Mr. Robert Bright of Steeplecourt and his wife and family to sit in.
This seat and also the great window over it the said Mr. Bright built
entirely at his own cost.
2. The next to that I appoint# Mr Richard Spershot shop-keeper in
Botly Street and his wife and family to sit in for my time being. This
seat was erected by the said Mr Spershot at his own proper cost &
charge.
(# John Bolton is removed into this seat by my order.)
3. The next seat to that I appoint Richard Moulten at Pudbrooke and
his wife and family to sit in. This seat was erected at the said Richard
Moulton's own proper cost and charge.
4. The Old seat against the Communion-Table not yet dispos'd of, but
left as a common seat for strangers and such as (the church being full)
cannot get in elsewhere. (Mr Birch sits here)
As it appears that I had the greatest reason to make this settlement,
considering the great charge the severall Persons have bin at,
Especially Having not displaced one person settled by the late Rector:
So I doubt not but my successor will be pleased to continue such of
them and their families as shall survive me as an encouragement to
ethers to do the like good. This settlement was made as soon as the
two windows were put in and all the seats finished. Ammo Domini. 1715 by
me
J .Walton A: M: Rectr.
Whereas Charles Froude Blacksmith living in Botly Street has sometime
since erected a new seat in the Gallery by and with the consent of us
the minister and Churchwardens of Botly aforew. (seats in the Church
being much wanting) We the said Rector, Churchwardens, and other
Principle Inhabitants of the said Parish in Vestry Assembled do confirm
(as much as in us lyes) and settle the said Froude and his family in
the said seat and such persons as shall from time to time inhabit the
house the said Charles Froude now lives in, bounded by the Bugle Inne
on the East. Witness our hands.

me I do appoint Mr Samuel Birch living upon the Hill near Botly River

for his own proper use without let hinderance or molestation of or from
