Scope and content
Reporting on his inquiries at Elmstead: The Vicarage House is small and greatly out of repair, but could be improved. The whole village is enclosed and the small tithes were valued two years ago at £159.7.7. It is in the diocese of the Bishop of London, who has put a curate in, with a stipend of £60 p.a. The neighbourhood is respectable, being near to Colchester, and there are apparently only two dissenters in the parish.
