From Chicklade And Pertwood, A Short Parish History by E.R. Barty, M.A., Chicklade, Old Rectory, first published December 1955:
LATER OWNERS AND TENANTS OF DOMINICK
The name Dominick is derived from Fr. Dominique, lat. Dominicus, ‘pertaining to the Lord.’ St. Dominic was the founder of the Dominican Order of Black Friars.
Robert Clare Dominick as noted above, rented Dominick from the Benett family. An Inquisition on Christopher Benett, Hindon (13 Charles I. 1638) runs as follows:
‘Thomas Benett, father of Christopher Benett was seised of one messuage, tenement or farm called Chicklade Rudge alias Chicklade Farm late in the tenure of Robert Clare Dominick.’
Randall Dominick, referred to above, c.1647, may have been an ancestor of a later generation of Randalls whom we may be justified in thinking of as lords of the Manor and owners or tenants of Dominick. The Rev. John Russ is stated by Colt Hoare to have been lord of the Manor in 1783. He may have let the Manor to Richard Randall, a member of the vestry for many years, officiating as churchwarden and overseer. He was responsible for the upkeep of the north wall of the churchyard (Terrier 1783). The death of an infant daughter is recorded in the oldest parish register (beginning 1721). His mother was a Benett of Smallbrook. All these facts seem to point to his ownership of property (cf. Parish Plan 1783) on which he lived in Chicklade. He died in 1810.
John Russ married Mary Frowd 24 April, 1771, at E. Knoyle, in presence of William Blake and Honor Mary Blandford.
Rev. John Russ was Curate of Sedgehill till 1771 and afterwards Lord of the Manor of Chicklade; he presumably lived at Dominick.
John Candy is stated by Colt Hoare to be a descendant of the Rev. John Russ and to have inherited the Manor from him. Robert Candy, gentleman, was his father and was a churchwarden (1800-1813). John Candy’s long years of service to the Parish and Church have been noted elsewhere (1829-1853). John made a second marriage in 1846. The entry in the marriage register runs: “John Candy, son of Robert Candy, gentleman, married Charlotte Knight, daughter of John Knight, March 1846.†The Rev. J.C. Faber officiated. When the banns were published in 1845, Charlotte was 21. They had a daughter, Hannah, baptised in 1847. After John Candy retired he “abode in Bath.†He died in 1859.
In Kelly’s Directory (1867) Miss Candy is mentioned as “Lady of the Manor.†The Manor afterwards passed to Alfred Morrison, Esq., and was sold by him to J. Halliday, Esq. Soon afterwards the old house was demolished.
