Vicarage of Coddenham, with several messuages, farms, and land 

 situate in the parishes of Coddenham and Homingstone ; and 

 Advowson of the Eectory of Barham (subject to the next presentation 

 thereto, to which he nominated the Kev. William Kirby) ; and all 

 other his lands in the said parishes, to the Eev. John Longe, of 

 Bramford, in Suffolk. (From ' East Anglian Miscellany,' published 

 July 21st, 1917.) Freeman, in his ' Life of Kirby," at p."'l74, tells us 

 no more than that the " rector of Barham " died in 1796 and " Mr. 

 Bacon " appointed the curate {i. e. Kirby) to the living thus vacated. 

 That Bacon's will was at first, though erroneously, thought to be 

 invalid will account for the hiatus of a year. — Claude Morley.
