The church of Fisherton Delamere, in this county, having been rebuilt by the munificence of John Davis, Esq., of Bapton, was re-opened on Thursday last, on which occasion a sermon was preached by the Rev. Archdeacon Clarke, to a congregation comprising all the neighbouring clergy and families of distinction. After the service, an elegant Dejeuner, provided by John Davis, Esq., of Fisherton House, was served up in a marquee in the grounds, to which upwards of one hundred persons sat down. The party, having regaled themselves, and joined in a dance on the lawn, the tables were again covered, and the parishioners at large partook of an entertainment of true old English fare.
18 boys and 21 girls were taught in a school at Bishopstrow in 1833, at the expense of their parents, and William Temple, the lord of the manor, paid for the schooling of 15 boys.
