To the Revd the Minister of Buckerell

Chanter 232A, 245

  1. Residence, curate and lecturer: I reside at Sowton which Parish I serve - not at Buckerel on account of the badness & smallness of the house which has not been inhabited by any Clergyman for a great many years past. Mr Roskilly Vicar of Awliscomb whose church is about a mile distant from Buckerel church reads prayers & preaches there once every Sunday. His salary is £25 per annum.

  2. Other benefices: No.

  3. Divine service at other churches: At Sowton.

  4. Frequency of divine service: It has not been usual to have divine service administer'd but once a day for many years past, & the Living being very small has been for time immemorial serv'd in conjunction with another.

  5. Frequency of communion: Four times a year - the communicants about twenty.

  6. Catechising of children: At midsummer.

  7. Church fabric: Yes.

  8. Glebe terrier: Yes.

  9. Number of families: Thirty seven.

  10. Chapels: No

  13. Charity: There is an Annuity payable out of two Estates of Buckerel to the master of the Grammar school at Honiton which I apprehend has been duly and regularly paid.

    Priest's orders and institution: I was instituted to the Vicarage of Buckerel the 20th of May 1777
    & ordain'd Priest July the 8th 1770
