It contains 67 houses, 307 inhabitants, and 1257 A. 1R. of land, extending southward to Blue Point, near the junction of this county with those of Rutland and Lin­ coln. The Earl of Dysart owns most of the soil and is lord of the manor, which has a strong clayey soil. Thomas l\farshall and 'Villiam Jackson, Esqrs., Mrs. Stowe, and a few smaller owners, have land here. The ancient Ohapel was demolished many years ago, and tlle curacy consolidated with the vicarage of Buckminster; but a neat Ohapel of Ease was built by subscription in 1842, in the Elizabethan style, at a cost of £650. It has sittings for 140 hearers, and a small cupola, con­ taining one bell. The tithes were commuted in 1841, the rectorial for £300, and the vicarial for £4 per annum. Here is a Wesleyan Ohapel, erected in 1820 by subscription. Sewstern participates in the National School at Buckminster. A yearly rent-charge of £6 out of 12A. of land left by Thomas Bury in 1723, is divided among five poor widows, except 15s. for a sermon on St. Thomas's day, and 58. for the parish clerk.
