OCCOLD (St. Nicholas), a parish, in the parliamentary borough of Eye, union and hundred of Hartismere, W. division of Suffolk, 2 miles (S. by E.) from Eye; containing 578 inhabitants. It comprises 1479a. 2r. 11p.; the soil is suited to all kinds of grain and to turnips. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £19. 1. 5½., and in the gift of the Todd family: the tithes have been commuted for £405, and there is a glebe-house, with about 43 acres of land. The church is partly in the early and partly in the later English style, and has an embattled tower: the rents of two farms, comprising about 55 acres, are applied to its repair, and the relief of the poor.
