"NOTLEY (BLACK), a parish in the hundred of WITHAM, county of ESSEX, 1½ mile (S. by E.) from Braintree, containing 418 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Colchester, and diocese of London, rated in the king's books at £15, and in the patronage of Marmaduke Wyvill, Esq. The church is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. There is a school for fifteen poor children, endowed by James Coker in 1702. On raising gravel, in 1752, some curious relics of antiquity were discovered, consisting of fragments of a fluted column and a vessel, both of copper, also an oblong blue glass vessel, with pieces of another, and of several glazed earthen urns. The learned William Bedell, Bishop of Kilmore, was born in this parish, in 1570, as was also John Ray, A.M., author of some works on Natural history."
