Buckinghamshire.
There is a house in Fenny Stratford, called St. Martin’s house, in the wall of which is a stone bearing the following inscription:—
“This house was settled on the parish officers of this town, for the annual observance of St. Martin’s Day.”—“Anno Domini 1752.”
The house is let at 5l. 4s. per annum, and the rent, after defraying the expense of repairs, is laid out in giving an entertainment to the inhabitants of the town.—Edwards, Old English Customs and Charities, 1842, p. 59.
