WOODBRIDGE

Woodbridge, in East Suffolk, is a parish and market town, and port, on

the banks of the river Deben, 76 miles from London, and 8 N.E. from

Ipswich. The population in 1851 was 5,000. The town is well lighted

with gas; it consists principally of four streets. Large quantities of

corn and malt are shipped from Woodbridge; and the imports are very

considerable, consisting of coal, timber, seed, oilcake, wine, spirits,

&c. Upwards of 50 vessels are connected with the port. A very extensive

market is held on Wednesday, for corn and cattle. Fairs are held on the

first Tuesday in April, and Michaelmas day and the day following. A

county court is held here. The petty sessions are every Wednesday, and

quarter sessions are held here.

The Parish Church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a very handsome structure,

and in 1840, was repaired and decorated at the expence of George Thomas,

Esq. The living is a perpetual curacy; the Rev. T. W. Meller, M.A., is

the present incumbent—annual value, £329. A new church, dedicated to St.

John, has been completed within the last 8 years. The Rev. Joseph

Rowley, B.A., is minister. The Wesleyans, Independents, and Society of

Friends, have each a chapel here.
