  • The Living of Tarrant Gunville, Dorset, 1561-1934
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E19 The Living of Tarrant Gunville, Dorset, 1561-1934 Tarrant Gunville is a village in Dorset near Blandford Forum. The College bought the advowson for this parish in 1747. It was the first living purchased by the College from a fund created under the will of John Radcliffe in 1714 for the purchase of advowsons (see UC:E17/3/MS2/6 ). Unfortunately, the College had a very long wait on its hands before it could enjoy its patronage, because the incumbent, Edward Fleet, who sold the advowson to the College, did not die until 1797. On the other hand, the advowson cost the College rather less than any of the livings acquired at this time, so perhaps the price paid reflected the College’s awareness that it might have to wait a while for a vacancy to occur. Since 1797, the living’s incumbents to 1957 have been as follows: 1797–1827 Francis Simpson (matr. 1774; Fellow 1781–98). 1828–72 John Watts (matr. 1812; Fellow 1817–29). 1872–88 James Lee Warner (matr. 1855; Fellow 1866–72). 1889–1900 William Henry Hitchcock (matr. 1851). 1900–4 Gerald Mottram Hutton (matr. 1882). 1904–26 John Lewis Rhys (not a member of University College). 1927–57 Arthur Brashaw (matr. 1919). 1957 Bertram Eccles (not a member of University College). The papers relating to Tarrant Gunville include title deeds, correspondence, and papers on the finances of the living. They were all found in the archives during the stocktaking of 1993, except for UC:E19/L1/3 , which was transferred to the archives from the Master’s Office in May 2017 as Accession No.
