Essex 1863 Whites Trade Directory for Little Ilford
ILFORD (LITTLE) is a small scattered village and parish, on the west side of
the river Roding, opposite Great Ilford, and 6 1/2 miles E. by N. of
Whitechapel. It is near East Ham Station, and contains only 594 souls, and 760
acres of land. John W. Wight Esq., is owner of most of the soil, and lord of the
manor. The Ohureh (Virgin Mary) is a small ancient edifice, with a wooden turret
and one bell. A small chapel, used as the vestry, contains several handsome
monuments in memory of Smart Lethieullier, Esq, and other members of his family.
He was industriously versed in the science of antiquity, an encourager of art,
and an ingenious artist. He was born in 1701, and died without issue, in 1760,
leaving behind him a history of Barking, in manuscript. The rectory, valued in
K.B. at £11.13s. 9d., and in 1831 at £408, is in
the patronage of J. W. Wight, Esq., and incumbency of the Rev. A. Hibbit, B.A.,
who has a neat residence, and 40A. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1830,
for £320.14s. 8d. per annum. Near the London and Romford road, in this parish,
stands Ilford Gaol and House of Correction. It is a brick building, with
accommodations for about 100 prisoners, and was finished in 1831, at the cost of
about .£30,000. It is conducted on the silent system, and has about 60 cells, 8
day wards, 10 airing yards, and a tread-mill. Mr. W. Stringer is the governor;
and the Rev. T. L. Ramsden, of East Ham, is the chaplain. Petty Sessions are
held weekly at the Gaol, and at Great Ilford, where there is a station of the
metropolitan police. The poor have distributed among them £30 a year, arising
from £1000 three-percent, reduced annuities, bequeathed by James Hayes, in 1818,
in trust with the rector, churchwardens, and overseers. They have also £1 a year
from Hyde's Charity, paid by the Salters' Company, London, and distributed by
the rector in coals.
The CITY OF LONDON CEMETERY is in this parish. It was opened in 1856, and
extends over 112 acres, about half of which is consecrated. It cost about
£200,000. The Rev. C. J. F. Taylor is chaplain of the consecrated part, and the
Rev. J. Woodard of the unconsecrated part. Mr. J. C. Stacey is the
superintendent, and Joseph Wallace, sexton. The POST OFFICE is at John Hanson's.

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. And Last updated on: Wednesday, 29-Jul-2009 17:57:32 BST
