It is worthy of remark, that Mr. Pye, the present incumbent, has been

in possession of the living fifty-three years; and that his

predecessor, Mr. Hicks, held it during sixty-two years; so that one

change of rectors has alone taken place in the long period of an

hundred and fifteen years; a case of successive longevity almost

unparalleled; and the more extraordinary in comparison with the

inheritance of family estates, when it is recollected that each of

those gentlemen must at the least have completed the twenty-fourth

year of his age before he received induction to the benefice.
