LONG MEL'FORD, Suffolk, within, three miles of 
Sudbury, is a pleafant village, and perhaps one of the 
largeft in England, being about a mile in length. Mel- 
ford has an annual fair, feveral good inns, many handfome 
houfes, and creditable inhabitants. Here lived the un¬ 
happy Mr. Drew, who, in the year 1739, was barbaroufly 
murdered ; and his fon, Charles Drew, executed for it, 
who effefted it either with his own hands, or by thofe of 
another perfon whom he procured to do it, by ftiootin® 
him, for the fake of enjoying his eftate. This parricide 
was attended with circumrtances of great horror. Britijk 
Directory, vol. iv. 
Few villages in England can boaft of a more agreeable 
fituation than this, the immediate vicinity being cliftin- 
guiflied by much beautiful and pifturefque feenery. The 
church, which ftands on an elevated fpot at the north end 
of it, is a curious piece of architecture in the pointed ftyle 
of the fifteenth century: its length is 180 feet, exclufive 
of the fchool-houfe at the weftern extremity: the chancel, 
or eaft end, is 'diftinguiflied for its mafonry, confifting 
of flint-work, and fquare ftones; and beneath the parapel 
is an infeription in old letters. In the north aifle is an 
altar-tomb for William Clopton, efq. whofe ftatue, in ar¬ 
mour, refts on the top; he died in 1446. His fon, John 
Clopton, who was flieriff of the counties of Norfolk and 
Suffolk in the time of Henry VI. was interred under an 
altar-tomb in the chancel. Near the communion-table is 
a large and ttately marble monument to the memory of flr 
William Cordell, who was fpeaker of the houfe of com¬ 
mons in the reign of queen Mary : this gentleman founded 
an hofpital here, which is (till handing, almoft ciofero the 
church : it is a refpeftable brick building, and is fuffi- 
ciently endowed for the fupport of a warden, twelve poor 
men, and two women, who are required to be old and de¬ 
cayed houfekeepers of Melford. Several Roman urns have 
been dug up in this parifti within thefe few years. 
At a fhort diftance eaft of the church is Melford Hall, 
the feat of fir H. Parker, bart. lately killed in America. 
The houfe, a large brick building, appears to be of the 
age of queen Elizabeth. At the diffolution of religious 
houfes, this eftate was granted to fir William Cordell._ 
About half a mile north of the church is Kentvvell Hall, 
formerly the feat of the Cloptons, but now of Richard 
Moore, efq. The houfe is large, and was formerly fur- 
rounded by a moat, three fides of which are ftiii remain¬ 
ing; the fourth or eaft fide has been filled up. Shobcrl's
