Scope and content

Correspondence about (a) inclosure at Swavesey, (b) commutation of vicarial tithes, (c) augmentation from the Proby Fund. The chief correspondent is the Revd John Graham, Vicar of Hinxton, but apparently (non-resident) Vicar of Swavesey as well. There are also letters from a valuer Robert Wright of Norwich, and several valuations of the living. In 1839 there are letters from J.M. Rodwell, with a valuation of the farm at Preston, Suffolk, belonging to John Graham, and a letter from Alex. Watford about gravel in the vcarage lands. In 1840 there is a letter from the Bishop (Joseph Allen) insisting that John Graham should install a curate at Swavesey and make the vicarage house fit for his residence. On 20 December 1841 Graham accepts the College's offer of an annual payment of £48.3.3 to the Vicar of Swavesey until an estate of suitable value shall be purchased for the living. A final letter of 14 December 1847 reporting on a charitable grant of land for a Swavesey National School, and arrangements for staffing it. "My curate Mr Walton is indefatigable in his attentions to the children".
