.A.LKBOROtrGH P .A.RISH. 609 t~arping. The Church (St. John the Baptist) is an ancient structure, which has suffered greatly by injudicious alterations. One of its bells is curiously cast, and bears a long inscription. The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £10, was augmented with £400 of Q. A. B. in 1817. It is now, with that of Wbitton annexed to it, valued at £209, in the alternate patronage of the Bishop of Lincoln and Mrs. Bentinck. The Rev. John Wilson, of Whitton Y"tcarage, is the incumbent, and Mrs. Bentinck is also impropriator, but the tithes were commuted for allotments, at the enclosure, except a small modus paid to the vicar, who has here 51 acres of glebe. The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel here ; the former rebuilt in 1840. An old Almshouse, divided into ten tenements, with a rood of garden ground, has been occupied by poor people from time immemorial. At the enclosure, in 1765, a yearly rent-charge of £1. 12s., was awarded to the poor in lieu of commonright; and it is paid by the lady of the manor, who also pays !Os. a year to the parish clerk, pursuant to the same enclosure award. The Parish School is supported by Mrs. Bentinck, and here is an Infant School, built by Lady Strickland. ALKBOROUGH PARISH.
