Mutford (St. Andrew)

MUTFORD (St. Andrew), a parish, in the incorporation and hundred of Mutford and Lothingland, E. division of Suffolk, 3½ miles (E. S. E.) from Beccles; containing 415 inhabitants. This parish, which gives name to the half-hundred of Mutford, comprises by estimation 1500 acres: the soil is good, and well cultivated; the prevailing scenery is pleasing. The living is a discharged vicarage, annexed to the rectories of Barnby and Wheatacre All Saints, and valued in the king's books at £7. 17. 1.: the great tithes of Mutford have been commuted for £245, and the small for £110; there is a vicarial glebe of 29 acres. The church is a handsome structure, chiefly in the decorated English style, with a circular tower surmounted by an octangular turret, and contains some highly-enriched Norman details, among which is a deeply-moulded arch. There is a place of worship for Wesleyans.
