GIPPING, a chapelry in the hundred of STOW, county of SUFFOLK, 4 miles (N.N.E.) from Stow-Market, containing, with the hamlet of Stow-Market, 107 inhabitants. The living is a donative, endowed with ten acres of land here, and a farm of about one hundred acres, in the parish of Earl Stonham, and in the patronage of C. Tyrrell, Esq.
