The parish Church answereth in bignesse, the large proportion of
the parish, & the surplusage of the Priory; a great part of whose
chauncell anno 1592. fel suddenly downe, vpon a Friday, very shortly
after publike seruice was ended, which heauenly fauour, of so
little respite, saued many persons liues, with whom immediately
before, it had bene stuffed: and the deuout charges of the well
disposed parishioners quickly repayred this ruine.
At the townes end, Cuddenbeak, an ancient house of the Bishops,
from a well aduanced Promontory, which intituled it Beak, taketh a
pleasant prospect of the riuer.
In this parish lyeth Bake, the mansion of the foreremembred
M. Ro. Moyle, who maried Anne daughter of M. Lock, as he did
mistris Vaughan, a Gentlewoman suppressing her rare learning,
with a rarer modesty, & yet expressing the same in her vertuous life
and Christian decease. Iohn father to Robert maried Agnes,
daughter of Semtabyn : and his father [blank] daughter of Forteskew,
to whom that dwelling first descended.
