MANOR OF GLANVILLE S WOOTTON. 7 



Crichel, from whom it passed to Humphrey Sturt, 

 Esq., and afterwards to Charles Sturt, Esq., who sold 

 it to Mr. John Young,, of Glanville's Wootton. This 

 estate was purchased of his executors in 18G1, by 

 James Charles Dale, Esq. The house belonging to it, 

 called the Church Farm-house, has been considerably 

 altered and spoiled ; but on pulling off the roughcast, 

 an old carved doorway and windows were found, 

 which prove it to be of considerable antiquity. 



That part of the manor which was allotted to 

 Henry Stephen son came afterwards to Robert White, 

 Esq., of Dorchester, whose son (the Eev. George 

 White, rector of Huntshill) sold it in 1807 to 

 Mr. George Young, the grandfather of the present 

 owner. 



Another estate in the manor, which belonged to the 

 Foys of Castlehill, was sold in 1875 by the executors 

 of the late C. W. Minet, Esq., in two halves ; one 

 half being purchased by my brother, E. R. Dale, Esq., 

 and the other by Sir William Clay, the brother of Sir 

 George Clay, the present owner. 



The rectory which stands in this manor was erected 

 by Mr. Fox in a field next to the church, and enlarged 

 and fitted up commodiously by Mr. Evans. Mr. 

 Evans also drained the whole field, and converted 

 part of it into an excellent garden, well stocked with 

 fruit trees, and surrounded by an extensive brick wall. 

 The rector is entitled to tithe of every kind, and has 

 between forty and fifty acres of excellent glebe land.
