is one made by “Roger Holmes, of Hatton, gent.” dated 15 May, 1611, in
which he makes various bequests of no particular interest. In 1613 John
Wharfe of Wickenby, by will dated 18 Sept., leaves to his sons lands in
Hatton, which he had on a mortgage, from his father-in-law Smythe. And
in 1616, by will dated 12 November, “Heneage Smith of Hatton,” leaves
“lands in Hatton for a schoolmaster.” He says that he received nothing
from his son-in-law, J. Wharfe, for the mortgage, but that, nevertheless,
he leaves certain moneys for his (J. Wharfe’s) sons, because they are his
grandsons.

The Church of Hatton was re-built in 1871; entirely of brick, except the
stone facings. It consists of a nave, chancel, and small spire on the
south side of the chancel, containing one bell. Its chief features are
as follows:—the east window, of coloured glass, has three separate
trefoiled lights, in memory of Waldo Sibthorpe, Rector, who died, 14 Nov.
1865, the subjects are, in the centre, the Crucifixion; in the northern
light, the Agony in the Garden; in the south light, the Resurrection,
“Noli me tangere.” In the north chancel wall are two brass tablets, one
recording that £100 was left by Mary Esther Waldo Sibthorpe in trust to
the Rector, for the poor of the parish; the other, that £100 was given by
Charles Edward Jarvis, in trust to the Rector, for the benefit of the
parish. In the north wall is one two-light Early English window, and one
single-light window in the same style. In the south wall is one
single-light window, the vestry door, and organ chamber, over which
stands the tower and spire. In the north wall also is a credence table
of stone, with trefoiled arch. The east end is in the form of an apse.
The chancel arch, and that of the organ chamber, terminate in elaborately
foliated finials. In the nave, the pulpit is of Caen stone, a device in
one panel being a cross within a quatrefoil, surrounded by a circular
moulding. In the nave north wall, near the pulpit are a pair of
two-light windows, with trefoils above; and westward is a three-light
window with quatrefoil above. In the south wall of the nave is one
two-light window, with two trefoils, and a circle above; and one
three-light window corresponding to that in the north wall. The lectern
is of oak. The font is of Caen stone, with fluted bowl in eight
partitions, and supported by eight round columns. The sittings, for
fifty, and the roof throughout, are of pitch-pine.
