"STOGURSEY, (or Stoke-courcy), a parish in the hundred of Cannington,
county Somerset, 7 miles from Nether Stowey, its post town, and 8 W. of
Bridgwater. The village is situated near the Bristol Channel, which bounds
the parish on the N. The parish contains the hamlets of Burton, Knighton,
Shurton, Stoford, Week, and Fairfield. It returned members to parliament in
the reign of Edward III. In the vicinity are traces of the De Courcys'
castle, erected by Fulk de Brent in Henry III.'s time. Stoke Point, which is
within easy distance, extends about 4 miles into the sea. The soil consists
of red clay upon a subsoil of stone. The living is a vicarage, with the
curacy of Lilstock annexed, in the diocese of Bath and Wells, value £389, in
the patronage of Eton College. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, has a
tower with six bells; it formed part of a Benedictine priory, founded by
Will de Falaise in Henry II.'s time, as a cell to the abbey of L'Onley, in
Normandy. At the suppression it was valued at £58, and was given by Henry
VI. to Eton College. The register dates from 1647. The parochial charities
produce about £322 per annum, of which £208 go to almshouses, and Stodden's
£84 for old maids above fifty years of age. A National school for both sexes
was built in 1860 at the expense of Sir P. P. Acland, Bart., who is lord of
the manor and principal landowner. The Independents and Baptists have each a
chapel. Fairs occur on 24th May, and 23rd September for cattle." From The
National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) Transcribed by Colin
