Parish Church of St Nicholas

church building United Kingdom
I found it locked. In 1256 Kennett had a church, whose advowson remained in the hands of the lords of the manor throughout the Middle Ages. In 1557 John Willoughby, held the right of presentation, which was exercised by successive lords of the Petre family in the late 16th century. In 1643 John Chenery presented Oliver Bryant, suggesting that the Petre family had sold that turn, but in 1696 the lord of the manor, Sir Samuel Barnardiston, presented. The advowson remained attached to the lordship during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, but in 1751 the bishop presented by lapse. In 1958 the advowson was not sold with the lordship to Mr. G. Lofts, although he believed that he had the right to choose the rector. In the late 20th century the patronage was held by the heirs of Mrs. Sickles, who lived in Philadelphia (U.S.A.) 6 Proposals to unite the benefice with the neighbouring living at Chippenham in 1929 came to nothing, owing to the opposition of Kennett's squire. The living was nevertheless thereafter held in plurality with neighbouring livings in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, and since 1974 was held with neighbouring Fordham, whose vicar was in charge at Kennett in 1997. The living remained an unappropriated rectory during the Middle Ages. In 1279 the rector had 30 a. of glebe. During the 17th and early 18th centuries the 35 a. of glebe was divided between the three fields in 24 blocks of 1/2-2 a. Under the inclosure award of 1823 the rector was allotted 31¾ a. His main portion, 29 a. of arable, lay south of the church. The new rectory house was built on that land in the early 1830s, reducing the arable to 28 a. In 1912 a plan to sell the glebe to the lord was rejected, but 3/4 a. was sold in 1925 at the insistence of the rector. In 1947 the remaining glebe was sold, except for 3/4 a. reserved as the site for a new rectory house, but finally sold in 1967. In 1254 the rectory was valued at £8, and the rector received another 5s. from land in neighbouring Elved
