In 1245, the Knights Hospitallers had a grant for a market and a fair here. The Noels have held the manor since 1622. The soil is chiefly a light loam and gravel~ and the surface diversified.

The late Baroness Wentworth built and sup­ ported two free schools for boys and girls, and they are now supported by the Eal'l of Lovelace. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, the boys, to the number of about 60, are taught gardening, &c., and each has a small plot of ground under his own cultivation. A Farmers' Club, which was established here in 1846, lms now attained a world-wide cele­ brity, under the title of the SPARKENHOE FARMERs' CLUB. (See page 641.) In 1662, Wm. Dilkes left £100 for clothing and apprenticing poor boys, and it was laid out in the purchase of 8.A. of land at Bru:well, now let for £16 a year.
