Residence, curate and lecturer: I reside for the most Part at my House near Honiton, where I have always resided since I left the University, about three Miles distant from Widworthy. The Distance is so small, and I am so frequently at my Parsonage House at Widworthy, where I keep apartments furnished, with a Person to live in it, That I trust there is no Neglect in the Duty I in that Respect owe my Parishioners. No Lecturer.
Frequency of communion: The sacrament of the Lords Supper is administered four Times in the year. There are upwards of thirty Communicants.
Catechising of children: I always catechise the youth & expound to them myself before Confirmations. The Parish Schoolmaster who is also parish Clerk hears them every Friday in the afternoon.
School, alms-houses, hospital and charitable endowments: There is a School for teaching poor Children to read & write; The masters Salary six Pounds a year with a House & Garden. No other charitable Endowment, nor any parochial Library.
Charity: There are no Lands or Tenements, but two Benefactions left by Will, one of twenty shillings to be distributed yearly on St Lukes Day. The other of Forty Shillings to be distributed yearly to the Poor in Bread on the nativity of our Lord. They are duly applied.
Priest's orders and institution: My Priests orders are dated Nov:r 1st 1766.
And I was instituted to the Rectory of Widworthy Oct:r the 18 1769.
