Descriptive Notes:Directories:
REDMARLEY-D'ABITOT, a parish in a detached portion
of the lower division of the hundred of OSWALDSLOW, county of
WORCESTER, 5½ miles
(S. E. by S.) from Ledbury, containing 955 inhabitants. The living is a
rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester, rated in the
king's
books at £16. 10. 7½ and in the
patronage of Mrs. Nillet*. The church, dedicated to St. Bartholomew,
has
been
much modernised; the font is circular and very
ancient. There is a
trifling sum, the bequest of William Church, in 1727, for teaching poor
children. [Topographical Dictionary of
England 1831 by Samuel Lewis]
*My thanks to David Daniell who points out that Lewis misspelt this surname. It should be "Niblett" as confirmed below in the Victoria County History:
"Between
1829,
when George Monro still owned the advowson, and 1836 it was
purchased by the Nibletts, and is now in the possession of the rector,
the Rev. Henry Morton Niblett."
