CHELMONDISTON, a village and parish, on the south-west side of the broad
estuary of the Orwell, 6 miles S.S.E. of Ipswich, and 6 miles N.N.W. of
Harwich, has 796 inhabitants, and about 1627 acres of land, including the
fishing hamlet of Pin-mill, which has about 50 boats employed chiefly in
getting stone on the rocks near Harwich, for the manufacture of Roman
cement. The soil is generally a light sand, and is all freehold, belonging
to John Berners, Esq., the Lucas, Reynolds, and Walker families, and a few
smaller owners. The Church (St. Andrew) is an ancient structure, which was
repewed and thoroughly repaired about 15 years ago. The rectory, valued in
K.B. at £8. 10s., and in 1835 at £312, is in the gift of the Lord
Chancellor, and incumbency of the Rev. H. Clissold, M.A., who has a neat
Rectory House, built in 1849, but resides at Stochwell, Surrey, near London.
Here is a National School, built in 1838, and also two small chapels,
belonging to the Baptists and Wesleyans.
