Fellowes, Esq., lord of the manor, and owner of the soil. The park is well wooded, and extends down to the river Tas. The house is a handsome modern structure, built on the site of the ancient hall, which was long a seat of the D'Oyley family. St. Mary's Church is a small edifice, in good repair; but St. Martin's and St. Botolph's have been in ruins several centuries. Their benefices were consolidated with Shottesham All Saints soon after the Reformation, . . . Upwards of 1,000 acres were enclosed in 1781.
