"MISTLEY, a parish in the hundred of TENDRING,
county of ESSEX, ½ a mile (E.) from Manningtree, containing
778 inhabitants. The living is a discharge
rectory, with the curacy of Manningtree, and the vicarage
of Bradfield, in the archdeaconry of Colchester,
and diocese of London, rated in the king's books at
£16. 13. 4. F. H. Rigby, Esq. was patron in 1811.
The church, dedicated to St. Mary, stands about a mile
north-west from the site of the former structure, and
was consecrated in 1735, having been rebuilt, principally
at the expense of Edward Rigby, Esq. The river Stour
is navigable at the village, where are good quays- and
commodious warehouses for corn, malt, and coal, in
which articles much business is carried on: the quay,
port, and warehouses, at Mistley, belong to the proprietor
of Mistley hall. The petty sessions for the
division of Tendring are held here on Mondays, once
in five weeks, alternately with Thorpe, Manningtree, and
Great Bromley." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
