By the Rev. F. H. Manley. 307 
Rector, Samuell Knapp, John Hargett, Churchwardens,” is very 
elaborate. It seems that various exchanges and enclosures had 
_ been made since the last terrier by landowners, and thus some of 
the rectory lands were different from heretofore. The Rector 
_ himself wrote out this terrier, and was evidently most anxious that 
it should be correct. 
We have no means of ascertaining whether any further changes 
were made in the glebe lands before the enclosure, but at 
that time the tithes, &c., were exchanged for land and the 
property consolidated. The glebe now consists of some eighty 
_ acres at Startley, about two hundred and twenty acres near the 
village, and five acres of old glebe at Seagry Heath. The old tithe 
barn, which formerly stood in the rectory grounds, was removed and 
_ placed on the glebe at Startley. The rectory house was apparently 
— entirely re-built about the year 1600. Early in this century some 
alterations were made by the incumbent, Mr. Demainbray. Fifty 
j years later his successor altered the front of the house very much, 
and about fifteen after that replaced the old-fashioned kitchen, &c., 
by more commodious arrangements. The old bay windows of the 
original parlour and bedroom above, however, still remain. In 
this parlour Aubrey asserts “The assassination of Harry Long was 
contrived.”
