council, dated 26th August, 1881, was consolidated with the chapelry of
Langriville; the two being of the united yearly value of 320 pounds, and
held by the Rev. W. Fitz-Harry Curtis, who resides at the latter place.

A good school and master's house were erected in 1880, by the School
Board of Wildmore Fen, at a cost of about 1,200 pounds, to accommodate
168 children. The Wesleyans have a chapel at New York and Bunkers' Hill.
The Primitive Methodists have also a chapel.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners, to whom the Fen Chapel Estates were
transferred in 1876, pay 120 pounds a year for a curate, who now is the
Rev. Harold E. Curtis. The total area is now 10,500 acres, and
population 1,470.

NOTE.--Other parishes have once been in the Soke of Horncastle, which no
longer belong to it. _Domesday Book_ gives Scrivelsby, "Langton and
(its) Thorpe" (from which I write; "Thorpe" being doubtless the outlying
district recently known as Langton St. Andrew), and also Edlington. How
these became separated is not known. As suggested by the author of
_Scrivelsby_, _the home of the Champions_, Scrivelsby, as a barony of the
Marmyon and Dymoke families, would probably be separated by payment of a
fine; such powerful families preferring not to be sub-ordinated to
another manor. Several Dymokes, however, were buried at Horncastle,
where are their monuments.
