likewise Easter offering every year either in money or fish. I do likewise declare 
that I have paid a composition tythe for ye herbage and fruit of my orchard and 
garden, and Easter offerings besides to our present vicar, Mr. Pulsford, for 
several years past. I do acknowledge ye payment, both of tythes and offerings, 
to be ye custom of Seagry. Witness my hand, W. Brabby.” 
There are several other entries of a similar kind.

Benefactions. 
William Blackmore, of Berwick Bassett, bequeaths towards the 
repairs of the parish Church of Seagry 40s., from churchwarden to 
churchwarden for ever. This has been alienated from the Church, 
and no record can be found about its expenditure since 1740.
