Real property, £4,049. Pop., 175. Houses, 36. The parish includes also the township of Staythorpe; and its Post Town is Newark. ...
Acres, 2,646. Real property, £5,299. Pop., 237. Houses, 48. The property is divided among a few. The manor belonged to Sir William Sutton; who is commemorated by a curious monument in the church. Averham Hall is the parsonage. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Kelham, in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £1,435.* Patron, J. H. M. Sutton, Esq. The church is good. The monument to Sir William Sutton records that he had sixteen children; one half of whom
Ushered to heaven their father; and the other
Remained behind him to attend their mother.
