WALTHAM-PARVA, (Essex) on the E. side of the Chelmer, opposite to the former, appears to have bel. formerly to a family of the same name, but was long in the Mildmays and Luckins; from the latter of whom it was purchased by Hen. Edwards. Certain lands here were formerly given for the maintenance of a chantry in this Ch. which at the Diss. were granted by Edw. VI. to Rich. Chaumont and Roger Prideaux; who having sold the same to Roger Pool, he settled it upon feoffees in trust, for the repairs of the Ch. and other pious uses. John Aleyn of Grays-Inn gave 500 l. to be employed in apprenticing poor children, to be nominated by the minister and Ch.-wardens of the p. and for want of such objects of his charity, to be employed in repairs of the Ch. and chancel, or to be distributed among the poor. The late Mr. Edwards had a seat here.
