The living is a rectory, yearly value £320, with residence and 35 acres of glebe, in the gift of,  and held by the Rev John Pearson MA of Trinity College, Cambridge. The Chappington charity, arising from a house and 17 acres of land, produces £30 a year, £15 of which is applied towards the support of the schools and the remainder for other charitable purposes. On the common there are barracks for the training of recruits, which are capable of containing about fifteen hundred: there is a garrison chapel for the forces; the Rev Samuel Bampfylde Windsor MA,  is the resident chaplain; there are also three permanent officers.

A very strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Hornchurch.
