Parish History
St. Clement's Church, erected about 1500, is a plain structure, consisting of a nave, two spacious side-aisles, and a fine tower, in which are a good clock and six musical bells. A few years ago, the interior was re-seated, and the exterior flinted and thoroughly repaired. Among the monuments in the interior is one to the memory of Thomas Eldred.... The Parish of St. Clement's includes a large portion of the town, and about 1209 acres of land, extending more than two miles southward along the east bank of the Orwell. It increased its population from 2424 souls, in 1801, to 7025 in 1851, including Fore Hamlet, Back Hamlet, and Wykes Bishop Hamlet, which are now connected parts of the town. Within its limits is Warren House, which is extra parochial, and is now divided into six tenements, belonging to Sir P. V. Broke, who owns a great part of the freehold land in the parish..... TRINITY CHURCH, situated in that now populous part of St Clement's parish, between the Back and Fore Hamlets, is a neat chapel of ease, or district church, which was erected at the cost of £2000, in 1835.... William White, 1855, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Suffolk, page 76-77
