1 6 The English Ancestry of this estate had been somewhat increased. It " had all tythes except corn, hay and wood." The parsonage with its thir- teen acres of glebe is near the Church. The Parish is now in the Diocese of St. Alban's (Province of Canterbury), the Archdeaconry of Colchester, and the Deanery of Ardleigh and Harwich, and the Vicar in 1895 was the Rev. Wm. Hugh Wood, M. A. St. Osyth (or 'T Oosey as the people called her) to whom the Abbey was dedicated, was the daughter of a Mercian Prince, and martyred by the Danes ; her story is given in an old tract, " Purgatory proved by Miracles." * Local tradition preserves the tale that once a year she revisits the spring in "Nun's Wood," which bursts forth out of the earth on the spot where her head fell to the ground when she was martyred, and on the anniversary of that event, as we are told, she appears there, holding her head in her hands ! Newcourt gives the names of the Vicars of the Parish Church, which in his time was in the Archdeaconry of Col- chester and the Deanery of Tendring Hundred, then, in the Diocese of London. In the days of Kemp, Archbishop of Canterbury, a little before the time of the earliest of our name known to have lived at Ramsey, Hugh Bennett was in charge, having taken it 10 October, 1458 ; the succession of Clergy from that time is as follows: — Will. Hervy, from 25 October, 1459; Richard Smyth, 12 September, 1460; John Horton, 24 June, 146 1 ; William Northale, 2 April, 1488. Bishop Hill appointed Ralph Bride, 30 September, 1499 * Printed in Wright's " History of Essex," II : p. 773. ;
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 17 Bishop Fitzjames next appointed Christopher Saintclere, 2 July, 1 5 12; on his death Bishop Stokesley gave the living to William Hodkinson, who succeeded 17 September, 1535 ; cruel Bonner appointed John Russull, 3 July, 1540; and the William Vaughan, 29 April, 1550. Bishop Grindall appoint- ed John Lovell, A. M., 16 December, 1560; who was suc- ceeded 18 September, 1564, by Henry Reynold (called by his name in Latin, Henricus Reginald, on the ancient records *) on the death of Reynold, John White took charge 30 April, 1575; he died before October, 1592; he was accused by a Presbyterian writer of being " A scandalous liver," and " in- dicted for a common barrater. Witness the Records and Dr. Wither." f Edward Marvin, the father of Reinold and Matthew, seems to have removed from Ramsey to Great Bentley during his time, as will be seen on a subsequent page. Thomas Blande who came next, was Vicar from 5 October, 1592 ; he died before June, 1601. After the death of Blande Bishop Bancroft gave the living to Ralph Walker, 24 June, 1 60 1, who held it for twenty-seven years (until he died) ; he was succeeded by John Jefferey, 9 October, 1628, and on his death, Bishop Laud named Richard Taylor, A. M., 24 December, 1638, on the presentation of Charles I. He was still there in 1650. His successor was Abraham Everit, who conformed.^ From this list it may be readily seen who were * The Registers of St. Nicholas, Harwich, a few miles away, have many entries of the Reynolds family. t See Davids, " Annals of Non-Conformity in Essex."
