Calceworth Jlundred. solidated with that of Hannah, has been augmented with £300, private benefaction, and £600, Queen Anne's Bounty, with which 20 acres of land were purchased. The Rev. John Bowden, LL.D., who lives at Thoresthorpe House, Alford, is the incumbent. The tithes were commuted, in 1839, for a yearly rent charge of .£100, and belong to the lord of the manor. Ralph FitzGilbert, before the reign of John, founded a priory here for Black Canons, but no vestiges of it now remain. At the dissolution, it was valued at £163. 17s. 6d., and the site was granted to the Duke of Suffolk. Here is a Primitive Methodist Chapel, built in 1837, at a cost of £60. Post from Alford.

MUMBY-CUM-CHAPEL. -CUM-CHAPEL is a scattered parish and village, 5 miles S.E. of Alford, about 4 N.E. of Willoughby railway station, and 14 miles N.E. of , containing 762 inhabitants, and 3.260 acres of fertile land. It comprises the village and chapelry of CHAPEL or MuMBY CHAPEL, the hamlet of Langham Row, and that of Hawtoft Row, the latter of which is partly in IIogsthorpe parish. Mumby, which is mostly in Bilsby manor, belongs chiefly to the Right Hon. R. C. N esbit-Hamilton and the Governors of Bethlehem Hospital, the latter of whom are lords of the manor of Mumby Chapel. JYiickleburg, an eminence in the marsh, is supposed to have anciently been the site of a mansion or small village. The Church (St. Peter) is an ancient fabric, consisting of nave, large chancel, north and south aisles, south porch, and a tower containing four bells. The benefice is a vicarage, valued in K.B. at £9. 12s. 3d., and now at £250, in the gift of the Bishop of Lincoln, and incumbency of the Rev. J. B. Travers, who has a large Vicarage House, with pleasant grounds. The living has been augmented with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners are the impropriators of the rectorialland and tithes formerly belonging to the Bishop of Lincoln, the lease of which is just expiring, and it is supposed the rectorial property will be sold. The church land, for repairs, comprises 8A. 3R. 37P., allotted at the en­ closure in 1804, and now let for £22. 10s. a year. The vicar and churchwardens, for the time being, are trustees for charitable purposes of several tenements and lA. 14P. of ground. There are also two yearly doles, viz., 40s., left by Sir Robert Christopher, in 1668, out of land at South Somercoates; and 40s. as interest of £40, left by Benjamin Hildred, in 1818. The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel at Mnmby, and the latter have also one at Mumby Chapel. CHAPEL IN MuMBY-CUM-CHAPEL is united with Mumby for all secular purposes, except as regards its highways. It is separate in all things ecclesiastical. Chapel is not mentioned in Domesday Book, but according to Mr. Charles Gowen Smith, is as ancient as any place therein mentioned. The first Chapel of Mumby Chapel, dedicated to St. Leonard (see Dugdale on Drainage), was probably erected on the site of the present building, by the lay appropriator, as early as any church in the neighbourhood. In the Inquisitions of Henry VIII. (1532), it is mentioned in these words: "Capellano de 1\Iumby, £2. 6s. 8d., val. in omn. dec. & £2 ann. voc. Church lands, & solut. guardian eccl. pro. repar. Eccles;" that is "To the chaplain of the chapel in Mumby, £2. 6s. 8d., in all tenths, and £2 annually from lands called church lands to the warden of the church, for church repairs." The Chapel, therefore, is what '\\as called a Free Chapel, having no connection with or dependance on any other church or chapel. The first building was washed down by the Sea, in 1570 (Hollinshed), but was rebuilt soon after, and appears on Camden's Map of , in 1586. It was again in ruin in 17 50; and was rebuilt for the third time, in l-794, by the then chapelwarden, Mr. Robert Emperingham, a chancel being added in 1866. Through, it is thought, the encroachments of the sea, and the spoliations of the 16th century, this chapel lost the whole of its property. There had been no church service held there for 150 years, when the Rev. Geo. Bryan, in 1824, took the charge of the chapel and chapelry, at a nominal income. Through the earnest exertions of the late Archdeacon Goddhard, this perpetual curacy received from the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty two sums of £1000 and £400, which have been invested in land in and . The fixed charities of the chapelry are only 10s. Chapel has become a place of general resort for sea visitors. Letters via Alford, which is the nearest Money Order Office.
