To the Revd the Minister of Netherex

Chanter 232A, 157

1. Residence, curate and lecturer: There is no Parsonage House.
   I reside at Rewe, an adjoining Parish.

2. Other benefices: I enjoy the Rectory of Chilfroome in the County of Dorset & Diocese of Bristol.

3. Divine service at other churches: I serve the Cure of Rewe, & attend about Noon Sir Thomas Acland's Chapple. Having my Lord - 7 Daughters & a teeming wife, I get what I can with Propriety.

4. Frequency of divine service: On the 1^st & 3^d Sunday in every Month once a Day; The Stipend will not allow of more frequent Attendance, being but £10 per Annum out of the Barton of Netherex, a Queen Anne's Bounty of £8 per Annum & a little Glebe of £15 per Annum Before I attended, the Service was twice on ye first Sunday of every month; but the late Bishop thought it better if I wou'd consent, to divide it: - After which, I mention'd to the Bishop, that I had promised to serve it once every Sunday, as Mr Martyn, who presented me, had promised £50 towards raising another <Queen's> Bounty Sir Thomas Acland having promised also £100; But Mr Martyn died without fullfilling his Promise; so that as ye Salary is not encreas'd, ye Duty continues ye same. I mentioned this Particular, as I knew not, whether the late Bishop had not put down the Duty in his Book & as once a Day.

5. Frequency of communion: Four Times in the year - Christmas - Easter - Whitsunday & Michaelmas; before I came, it was never administer'd about 8 or 10 Communicants.

6. Catechising of children: I begin the Sunday after Trinity, as being the most leasurable Time in the Country, between Hay & Corn-Harvest.

7. Church fabric: Yes.

8. Glebe terrier: I have never thought it necessary to have one; because by the Donor's Will, a Copy of that will is always kept open in Broad Clist Church, as it relates to a Charity given to that Parish, & which your Lordship, I suppose, will have particularly specified by Mr Acland Rector of that Parish.
   If your Lordship thinks it necessary, one shall be procured.

9. Number of families: About 10.

10. Chapels: No.

11. Papists, dissenters and meeting houses: No.

12. School, alms-houses, hospital and charitable endowments: [Answer 12 is entered under query 13.]

13. Charity: The Parishes of Netherex & Cadbury have the Benefit of alternately placing a Pauper in one of the Alms-Houses at Broad-Clist, with an allowance of 1s 6d per week; which I believe is now duly applied.

    Priest's orders and institution: Taken Priest's Orders ye 21^st Septbr 1766
    Institution for Netherex ye 12^th Aug: 1769.

    Direction James Bryett at Rewe near Exeter.
