1717, and 1762 (Liber Regis), and, according to Noble’s “Gazetteer,” also as late as 1833, and they were probably owners in part, of the soil. In 1799, John Grant died lord of the manor, and three members of his family held it in succession. In 1842, the benefice was held jointly with that of Belchford, by the Rev. Egremont Richardson, B. Grant, Esq., being patron. Since then it has been held singly by three successive incumbents, the Rev. John Chalmers, the Rev. Goulding Saunders, and the Rev. James Clarke, but since 1898 the two have been again held together by the Rev. R. H. Domenichetti. In 1863, David Briggs, Esq., was lord of the manor. On his death, in 1876, it was bought by T. Ross, Esq., who died in 1885, when it was again sold to the late Spedding Whitworth, Esq., of Wath-upon-Dearne, Co. Yorke, whose son, Harrie Whitworth, is the present owner. The whole parish is now occupied and farmed by Mr. Henry Meanwell, who resides in the manor house, a substantial residence, built in Elizabethan style, in 1845–6, surrounded by extensive grounds, well-kept, and a well-wooded park of some 50 acres. The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is a small brick structure, adjoining, to the east, the manor house grounds. It was restored in 1884, by T. Ross, Esq., the then owner of the manor, in the decorated style. It consists of nave, and chancel, with apsidal east end. Over the west door rises an octagonal turret of stone, containing one small bell. The pulpit and sittings are of good old oak, with nicely carved poppy heads. Near the pulpit is an old-fashioned square family pew. The north and south walls of the nave have each a couple of two-light trefoiled windows. The font is octagonal, the faces trefoiled, with plain shields in each face, the shaft octagonal, standing on a pediment of two steps. The chancel arch is peculiar as being remarkably low. There are good carved oak altar rails, and a modern east window of three lights. On the south wall of the chancel is a tablet in memory of John Grant, the former lord of the manor, who died in 1799. The inscription formerly stated that he had made “£100,000 by farming, which had never been done before,” but this latter part is now erased. On the north wall is a tablet to Thomas Grant, who died in 1810; also to William Grant, who died in 1817. In the churchyard is a Grant altar tomb and vault; also two tombs of grey granite, in memory of Thomas Ross, and his wife Anne; also a tomb of David Briggs, Esq., former owner of the manor, who died, April 1st, 1876, and two others of Benjamin Briggs, and another David Briggs.
