it was possessed by Sir John Jolleys,” [and at present by Sir Martin Browne Folkes bart.] The _vicarage_ is in the gift of the bishop of Ely; but is a very poor one, and said to be worth very little if any thing more now than it was 150 years ago. [Picture: All Saints Church of South Lynn, published April 1810, by W. Whittingham, Lynn] 4. OLD LYNN, or _West Lynn_ Church; otherwise _West Lynn St. Peters_. This edifice, as its last name implies, is dedicated to _St. Peter_; meaning, as we presume, the apostle so called. It stands on the western bank of the Ouse, nearly opposite to St. Margaret’s. It is not the original church of old Lynn; nor does it stand on the same spot: that stood to the east of it, and within the present bed of the river. It is said to have been destroyed, together with the church-yard, about the 56th. of Henry III, or 1271, by an _inundation of the sea_; or rather, perhaps, by the vast _increase of fresh water_ in this harbour, from the addition of the Grant, the Ouse, and the Nene, about that time, to those other rivers which before had their passage to the sea by this town. The present church, it seems, was erected very soon after, on a piece of ground which the rector, William Pakenham, had procured for that purpose; who, to avoid all disputes, allowed the former patron, the prior of Lewes, the soil or ground, and the right of patronage. To this new church was afterwards added a _chapel_ dedicated to _our Lady_, in which was _her image_: also a chauntry, endowed with much land and divers tenements; all which was seized by the crown at the dissolution, and granted afterwards to the L’estranges of Hunstanton. This church is a rectory:—it is covered (says Parkin) with lead, and the chancel with reed; and he adds, “it has a square tower with 3 bells.” So much for this consecrated fabric.
