Details from a directory on Rayne written in the 1840’s

RAYNE, or Raine, is an ancient village on the river Brain, or Podsbrook, and on the Roman and modern road from Colchester (Camalodunum) to St. Albans (Verulamlum). It is about a mile and a half west from Braintree, in the union of which It Is, and 7 miles east of Dunmow, and 9 miles north-west of Witham and the Eastern Counties Railway. The parish contains 1,460 acres, and a population in 1841 of 355. The assessment of real pro­perty to the Property Tax was, in 1843, £2613.0s.10d.

The Church, dedicated to 'All Saints' is very ancient, and supposed to have been built in the reign of King Henry II.  The floor is paved with painted tiles, and the steeple is of brick. This church was anciently famous for its altar to the Virgin Mar and much frequented by pregnant women who sought a safe delivery, and, according to tradition, with such success, that the advice became a common pro­verb, "Go ere long and say your prayers at Rains."   The living is a rectory valued P. R. at £406. Over the Podsbrook is a bridge, by which the high road passes.  Here are some clay beds of great depth used In the manufacture of white bricks.

---------------------- 

“Samuel Jasper(?), Farmer, Purleigh” is a witness at Daniel Puplett and Ann Heald’s marriage (this bit taken from someone’s family history website)…..

 --------------------

(6) SAMUEL JESPER, son of the preceding.

Born 13-7-1772 at Broomfield.
Married (1) at Maldon, 5-1-1796, Elizabeth Puplett, duaghter of Thomas and Elizabeth Puplett, of Purleigh, who died 15-7-1823 at Stebbing, aged 48, and (2) 18-3-1828, Hannah Scott, then of Southwark, who died 22-10-1833 at Stebbing, aged 63.
Died 15-9-1846 at York.
Samuel Jesper was a farmer at Purleigh, Essex. The farmstead, the name of which is variously spelled as Digoods, Drygoods, and Dygoods, was demolished some years ago, but there is still a "Diegoods Farm" in the parish.

It will be remembered that Martin's Hall, which we have regarded as the Jesper homestead, was occupied in turn by John Jesper (1), John Jesper (2), his widow Judith, his som John Jesper (3), and the latter's widow Esther. Esther died in 1787, leaving Martin's Hall to her daughters Judith and Hannah, the former died in 1797, the latter married Robert Levitt, and went to live at Coggeshall in 1805. We find Samuel and his wife at Bran End soon after trhe birth of Rebecca, the youngest daughter: possibly he kept both farms on until his oldest son John was old enough to take over management of Dygoods--it is, however, rather a far cry from Purleigh to Stebbing.

We have in our possession the original marriage certificate of Samuel Jesper and Elizabeth Puplett. It is pleasing to see that Quaker wives of those days did not promise to obey, and the appearance of the name "Hannah Scott" amongst the list of witnesses is not without interest,--one wonders if the maiden, as she signed her name, had visions of another ceremony 32 years later, at which she would occupy a more important position. There are no Jesper witnesses, the only survivors, Judith and Hannah, being no doubt too old for the drive from Bran End. The family bible, now in our possession, is inscribed,
"Samuel and Elizabeth Jesper's book given them by Judith and Hannah Jesper, the 29th day of the 6th month, 1796,"
--a belated wedding gift.

Elizabeth Puplett was the daughter of Thomas Puplett (who "grew beans for the horses in the Napoleonic Wars") and Elizabeth Edwards, his first cousin, and granddaughter of Thomas and Mary Puplett of Boreham and Hatfield Peverel. Her brother, Benjamin Puplett, was the father of Thomas Puplett, whose name is a household word for all but the very youngest generations of Ackworth Scholars. [We are indebted to our cousin Edith Mary Doubleday, herself a Puplett descendant, for much Puplett information].

Essex 

Thaxted in 1837

Thaxted is in the hundred of Dunmow, 44 miles from London by Harlow, Hatfield Broad Oak, and Dunmow. This is a very ancient place, and probably existed in the time of the Saxons. It was incorporated by charter of Philip and Mary, and its government vested in a mayor, bailiffs, and chief burgesses : but the corporation became extinct in the time of James II, the corporate officers having retired from their offices on being served with a Quo Warranto. The town is irregularly laid out ; its chief ornament is the church, which is in the centre of the town, and is one of the finest in the county. It is mostly in the Perpendicular English style, and consists of a nave and chancel with side aisles, transept, and tower at the west end. The nave is not so wide as either of the side aisles, from which it is separated by eight clustered pillars on each side with pointed arches. The windows are mostly large, and many of them are ornamented with tracery and painted glass, but the latter is much broken and otherwise defaced. The north and south porches are richly ornamented with sculpture. The tower is sustained by buttresses, and is embattled, and terminated with a very rich crocketted spire, supported by flying buttresses. Most of the buttresses of the aisles have fine pinnacles, and are enriched with panneling. The height of the tower and spire is 183 feet, which is also the length of the church : the breadth of the church is 87 feet. It is supposed to have been built in the fourteenth century. There are at Thaxted meeting-houses for Quakers, Independents, and Baptists. There is a free grammar-school, which contained, in 1833, 30 boys on the foundation and 30 others whose education was paid for by their parents. Upon the same foundation 20 girls were educated at another school.

The population of Thaxted parish (which comprehends 5,890 acres) was, in 1831, 2,293, more than half agricultural. The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Middlesex, of the yearly value of £450, with a glebe-house. The market, which had been long disused, was revived about the close of the last century, but was not much attended, and has since been again discontinued. There are two fairs in the year. There are several almshouses in the place, and the benefactions to the poor have been very considerable. Near Thaxted is the ancient hall, Horeham-hall, the seat of Sir William Smith : it is a castellated gothic mansion partly covered with ivy.

YANKALILLA YARNS.  Obs 27/1/1923  By A Correspondent.

"When the archdeacon came in 1869 there was no parsonage, and he and liLa wife lived in the house now occupied by Mr. Levcringlon, Bennett & Fisher'a representa tive. Mr, Morse's first care was to start a church day school in Mr. William Skinner's cottage up the village. This was occupied by the postmistress, Mrs. Puplett, who gave up her front room for a schoolroom. As numbers in creased, a brick room was built on at the end. This became too small for the scholars, so a fresh building was necessary. The foundation ptone of the present school was laid 1871, by the Rer. H. J. Poole, curate of St. Paul's, Pulteney street. After the ceremony, the chil dren were inarched to the council chamber, where they were regaled with tea. The school was opened with a three-days' bazaar, the pro ceeds of which went to the building fund.

Mrs Puplett was first mistress of the school. Her husband was a baker, and had his oven in the schoolyard. The smell of the new bread used used to rise in a most tantaliring manner, and tickle the nostrils of the scholars as they sat at their desks inside.

G. N. Teulon was master of the boys side of the school. He was a splendid classical scholar, exceedingly well read, and a poet of no mcaji order. He took to a rortng life after he left Yankalflla, and died in (he Wentworth Hospital in 1801, from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted on Mm by a boy named Willinm Deakin, while asleep in his camp, near Mildura. Teulon warned this boy and a brother, aged nine, from his camp, threatening them with the police. In revenge the elder boy, aged 15, crept upon the sleeping man about 2 a.m., and shot him in the head and shoulders. The pobr fello^ in his last momenta, made a feeble scrawel, addressed to the archdeacon, which became more and more illegible as the pen dropped from his fingers. 'Hie boy was committed for murder.

Edward Dutton had the Yankalilla brewery In 1861. He came from Noarlunga, where he waa a brewer, and removed to Goolwa in 1864. He died at Ardnne, near Lucindale, January 29, 1887. Paacoe was a brewer of later days.

Mrs. Ernest Dutton is a daughter-in-law of Mr. Edward Dutton, who was at the Yankalilla brewery before Edmunds and Pascoe. Her husband was baptized in Christ Church, 1863.
