Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Tithe Memorial This rare memorial is directly opposite St Peters Church. It commemorates the seizure of goods at Elmsett Hall in May 1932. Charles Westren, who farmed at the Hall, refused to pay his tithe to the Church and household goods and corn-stacks were impounded, making national news. In the 1930s, landowners were expected to contribute a proportion of their income for the upkeep of the incumbent, or clergyman, even if they werent Anglicans.
The inscription reads (without punctuation), "To commemerate (sic) the tithe seizure at Elmsett Hall of furniture including baby's bed & blankets, herd of dairy cows, eight corn & seed stacks valued at £1200. For tithe valued at £385." Confusingly, especially considering when the seizure actually took place, the date at the top is 1935, whilst the date above the actual inscription is 1934. The memorial was erected by Mr Westren, before he emigrated in 1943 (by which time perhaps he had forgotten when it had taken place). |
