The rent is carried to thw account of the poor rates, and partly distributed in coals and cloth­ ing, by way of addition to the ordinary parochial relief. A house,. occupied by paupers, was built on part of the estate many years ago. The poor have the followiBg yearly rent-charges, viz., £2. 14s., left by Mrs. W am er for a distribution of bread once a fortnight; two of .£1. 6s., left by :Maximilian Smyth and Edmund Coleman, for weekly distributions of bread; and one of 13s. 4d., and another of 12s., given by unknown donors, and distributed on Easter Tuesday. In 1701, Richard Porter left a cottage for the residence of a School­ master, and a yearly rent-charge of £12 out of his estate here, for the education of 12 poor boys of Hacheston and Parham. The­ schoolhouse was rebuilt in 1825. The churchwardens and princi­ pal inhabitants appoint the master, and his annuity is paid out of an estate belonging to the Earl of Rochford. Here is also a School, which was built by the late A. Arcedeckne, Esq., and now chiefly supported by his widow. .
