LUFKIN Lufkin Farm Dedham The precise origin of the small manor of FAITES AND WADES in Dedham, Ardleigh, and Lawford is unknown. It was established by 1360 when John Fete held his first court, and had earlier been held by Thomas, son of Peter Wade. By 1543-44 it had passed, presumably by sale, to George Horsman, whose

widow Frances held in 1559-60.

Frances had apparently married Thomas Josselin by 1561, but the manor was held by John Wood in 1563, and John Lufkin in 1565. Thomas Sanford and Margaret his wife held a court in 1571, but Thomas Lufkin, probably a relative of John, held his first court in 1573. The manor then descended in the Lufkin family, being held successively by four or five other men called Thomas between 1584 and 1665. The last Thomas Lufkin (fl. 1665) presumably sold it to Richard Reyner who held in 1671. He was dead by 1692 when his widow, Martha, held a court. John Sherman held the manor in 1700, probably by marriage, as his widow, Anne Lufkin, held in 1702. In 1725 she was succeeded by Thomas Lufkin, perhaps her son, who was lord in 1727. The descent cannot be traced thereafter until 1758 when John Richardson (d. c. 1766) was lord. His trustees sold the manor to John Bridges of Mistley who was succeeded by his nephew, George Bridges. He sold the manor to Richard Waite Cox in 1816. The manor lands lay in the south-east corner of the parish in the 19th century, near Bargates (formerly Wade's) and Lufkin's Farms, but nothing

certain is known of the manor house. It had a dovecot in 1399 and 1414.

The Lufkins originated from the north area of the county of Essex in the villages of Dedham, Ardleigh and Lawford. The first reference which can be found is that in 1432 Nicholas Lovekin gave his name to Lufkins Farm. In other words he had recently bought this farm and named it after the family. The original building, much modified and restored still stands today and is still called Lufkins Farm. Landholding in Dedham, 1570-1650.

The History and Antiquities of Harwich and Dovercourt, 1730, Silas Taylor and Samuel Dale Seawreck with the leaves of a red rattle – this was found at Harwich by my late friend Mr John Lufkinm and ingenious apothecary of Colchester. Mr John Lufkin - five pieces of large bones were found on the shore near Harwich cliffs – account published in the Philos Trans N 274, p924 Gibson’s 1722 edition of Camden’s Britannia contains a list Thomas and John Lufkin. Nothing is known about John Lufkin who, in 1700, wrote a letter to the Philosophical Transactions (xxii, 924-6) about some large bones found in a gravel pit near Colchester. According to Samuel Dale he gave an account in the same article of bones found in a cliff at Harwich, which he had identified as those of an elephant.

Thomas Lufkin, Rector of Frating and minister of Berechurch and Layer-de-la-Haye, and family, 1745-6 1746 – born 1691 Elizabeth Lufkin 1745 – born 1726 Elizabeth Lufkin 1746 – born 1679 Thomas Lufkin According to Foster, Thomas Lufkin was born in Colchester on 22 February 1678/9. His father was John Lufkin, an apothecary in the town. He matriculated at Christ Church College, Oxford in December 1700, aged 20, and proceeded to BA in 1704, and MA in 1707. His date of ordination is not stated, but he was appointed rector of Frating in 1709 and rector of Layer de la Haye and Berechurch in 1711. Though Morant agrees with this date for the Frating living, other sources give somewhat earlier dates for his preferments, but he appears to have held all three until his death in 1745. The visitations of 1727 and 1738 noted that he was partly resident in Frating, and partly in Colchester. His scientific and antiquarian interests were developed early in adult life. In 1699 his letter to Dr Wallis was published in the Philosophical Transactions, describing an inscription on a carved wooden window cill in a house in Colchester. This appeared to bear the date 1090 in Arabic numerals and led to a great deal of discussion over the following decades about when such numerals were introduced into Europe, and whether the date had been misread, or was a forgery. This controversy was aired over a century later in Thomas Cromwell’s History of Colchester. In the same letter, Lufkin described his proposal for the ‘Application of a Pneumatic Engine to Cupping-Glasses’. A separate letter on the same subject, to Sir Hans Sloane, was published in the same journal. The next reference to Lufkin is found in a letter of December 1712 from Nicholas Jekyll to William Holman. The writer advises a further visit to ‘Mr Lufkin of Colchester’ in connection with material that Lufkin had contributed to the new edition of Camden’s Britannia. Jekyll doubted whether Lufkin would ever get round to publishing anything on his own account, but thought that his notes (possibly on his collection of coins) might be suitable as an appendix to the book that Holman was working on. Jekyll also thought that Lufkin might be able to point Holman to some useful manuscript sources. In 1722 Lufkin organised a careful survey of the Lexden earthworks. This project is mentioned both by Philip Morant and by Thomas Cromwell. A professional surveyor, Payler Smith, was used to take the measurements, and perhaps Lufkin acted as his assistant (and presumably paid his fees). Payler Smith’s plan, if it was ever drawn out, does not seem to have survived. Morant recorded the bearings and the measurements taken by the surveyor, and also made a rough sketch plan in his own annotated copy of The History of Colchester. As both men lived in or near to Colchester, it is not surprise to find that, towards the end of Lufkin’s life, he collaborated with Morant in editing an edition of Matthew Carter’s True Relation of that honourable tho’ unfortunate expedition of Kent, Essex and Colchester in 1648. This was printed by J.

Pilborough in Colchester, probably in 1745, and there is an imperfect copy in the British Library. No library in Essex appears to possess this book. Though Thomas Lufkin is dwarfed by his other contemporary antiquaries, nevertheless he seems to have been well regarded by them, and was regarded as a useful potential source of information. John Lufkin was presumably a relative (possibly his father) but nothing further has been discovered about him.
