HAMPTON-WICK, a chapelry in the parish of HAMPTON, hundred of SPELTHORNE, county of MIDDLESEX, 1 mile (E. by N.) from Hampton Court, containing 1261 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Middlesex, and diocese of London, and in the patronage of the Vicar of Hampton. The erection of a chapel was completed in 1830, at an expense of about £4000, granted by the parliamentary commissioners; it contains eight hundred sittings, one-half of which are free. The inhabitants of Hampton- Wick are entitled to one-third part of the charitable benefactions belonging to the parish, by virtue of an agreement entered into in 1698, between the minister and officers of Hampton, and the churchwarden of Hampton-Wick; and the free school is open to the children of the chapelry. The trade is principally in malt, a considerable quantity of which is made here. This place is within the jurisdiction of a court of requests for the recovery of debts under 40s., held during the summer half year at Brentford, and during the winter at Uxbridge. A new stone bridge over the Thames to Kingston has recently been erected, instead of a former bridge of wood, said to have been one of the oldest on the river. In making an excavation for the foundation of the abutment of the new bridge, on the north side of the river, in 1826, several military weapons of beautiful workmanship, in good preservation, were found, imbedded in blue clay, at the depth of thirty feet below the surface of the soil.
