Includes notes on College property in Elmstead and annotated ordnance survey maps showing changes in College property in Elmstead from 18th to 20the century.

The College purchased Elmstead Rectory including the advowson on 30 May 1613 from Francis Morice and Francis Phelips. See the conveyance in the steel press, shelf 10.

Records relating to Elmstead Cricket Club.

The College’s title to the Cricket Club derives from a Deed of Exchange dated 3 November 1859 and not the 1939 Conveyance. The majority of the land within the Deed of Exchange was sold to Bellway Homes Ltd in 1994 and it appears that the land let to the Cricket Club may be all that remains in the College’s ownership from that root of title [Mills & Reeve].

This document details the Elmstead tithe, rentcharge and rent, for Dr the Master and Fellows of Jesus College, in account with Francis, Webster & Riches. On the left side, it totals up the Poor Rate; the Highway Rate; one year of property tax; repairs to the chancel for J Easter; insurance, property tax and bills for repairs allowed to Mr Johnson; commission on collection of tithe rent; Lakes bill for repairs of chancel; Wilson's share of audit dinner; and a balance carried to the general account. On the right side, it totals up 1 year's rectoral tithe rent charge; one year's rent from Mr F W Johnson; and one year's rent from the Reverend Fisher. Both sides each total £1003 14s 3d.

A receipt for the payment of £10 received of the Master for the subscription from the College to the fund for distributing coal to the poor during the present winter. Signed by O Fisher.

Receipt of £10 0s 0d paid by Jesus College to the poor of Elmstead Parish.

By a resurvey of the Parish of Elmstead with a view of adapting the survey and valuation made in 1811 to the circumstances of the present times, it appears that several changes of occupiers have since taken place in the Parish and some alteration has been made in the mode of farming and condition of the land in consequence of the change of times and of local circumstances of which latter the principal is the removal of the garrison from Colchester - owing to these and other causes the general condition of the land may be considered as somewhat lower than in 1811 especially on the poorer soils they having afforded by inducement to the continuance of expansion modes of culture than those of better quality. But on the other hand the farmers have been anxious to increase the breadth of land under corn crops and some of the farms have got into the hands of more [?] occupiers than before; So that on the whole the quantity of produce yielding rectorial tithes cannot be said to have materially diminished but the difference of average prices must affect the value of those tithes as well as the falling off in facility of marketing.
The quantity of woodland has been decreased since 1811 by the stubbing of 12 acres (on Elmstead Hall) which are to be added to the number of titheable acres.
The glebe land is certainly not in a condition at the present moment to command so high a rent as in 1811 - it is now untenanted and in fact in the hands of the College [?].
The poor Rates at Elmstead appear to have increased since 1811 by 2 or 3d in the £ the average being then taken at 8d and now 11d in the £ on about two thirds value.
Under the circumstances it is calculated that a deduction of 10 per cent from the valuation of the tithes and of 15 per cent from that of the glebe would give their present values respectively - according to the following statements:
2695 tithable acres valued 1811 (less 10%); 12 acres to be added to the woodlands; 2707 tithable acres valued 1818; 64 1 17 glebe valued 1811 (less 15%). Annual value of rectory: £857 7s 1 1/2d.

Two letters and a printed circular, appealing for money to rebuild the church school, which is now inadequate to house the children who attend it. If the parish cannot do this, the County Council will take over the school.
