[1] My theory, which Nesta Evans, lecturer and author, thought reasonable, was that Little Bradley, as a deserted medieval village, did not have, at least since 1638, a rectory and because no dwelling in the hamlet was of sufficient stature to house a rector, they had to provide a home for him in the next village.

[2] Caroline Crick, the daughter of Francis Crick, Rector of Little Thurlow, who died in 1824 and is buried, as she requested, in the corner of Little Thurlow churchyard near the rectory under the clump of elms, expressed in her will that 'I should like in grateful regard to Captain Dench, he should have a ring or, in lieu of that, let Charles his eldest son, have some memorial of use and value'. The Denchs' grave has a stone facing the wooden rail by the side of the driveway by the rectory.
