Eye. An ancient borough and market town, occupies a low situation at the confluence of two rivulets, 20 miles N.E. of Ipswich, 24 S. of Norwich, 94½ from London through Colchester and Ipswich, and 3½ from the Mellis station of the Eastern Union Railway. It contains 4,174 acres, and the population in 1851 was 2,419. General Sir Edward Kerrison, Bart., of Oakley Park, is lord of the manors, and proprietor of the greater part of the soil. The market is on Tuesday for corn, &c.; and a fair is held on Whit-Monday for pleasure. Through the energetic exertions of Mr. Henry Bishop and Mr. Robert Chase, of this town, assisted by Sir Edward C. Kerrison, Bart., M.P., of Broome Hall, a new era has dawned on the place by the erection of a flax manufactory on such an extensive scale, as to be capable of giving employment to a great number of hands. Here are breweries and an iron foundry. The town is governed by a mayor, 4 aldermen, and 12 councilmen; and has a Commission of Peace, and Court of Record. Petty sessions are holden here. It returns one Member to Parliament; and the present member is Sir Edward Clarence Kerrison, Bart.
The public buildings include the parish church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, a large, handsome structure, with a fine embattled tower, clock, and a handsome Gothic porch. The living is a vicarage, valued at £331 per annum. Sir Edward C. Kerrison, Bart., is the patron, and the Rev. James William Campbell, M.A., the incumbent. There are Wesleyan and Baptist chapels; likewise a Free Grammar and National Schools. The Hartismere Union Workhouse, a neat building, stands at the east end of the town, near the church.
The Freemasons have a Lodge (Prince Edwin, 751) held at Mrs. Rowling’s, White Lion Hotel. There is a town hall, and a small theatre, now occasionally used for lectures. The Eye Savings’ Bank andAnnuity Institution is held at Mr. Henry Bishop’s, in Broad Street, who is Secretary and Manager; and in November, 1851, there was due to 1,184 depositors the sum of £28,177 1s.7d.At the north entrance of the town stand Bedingfield’s almshouses, for poor widows or old maids of Eye, which have been rebuilt by the charity trustees, and have a picturesque appearance.

Stowmarket. A market town and railway station, in Stow hundred, West Suffolk, 80¼ miles from London, 12½ N.N.W. from Ipswich, and 14¼ E.S.E. from Bury; contained, in 1851, 3,299 inhabitants, besides about 1,000 in the Upland, being nearly 4,300. It is nearly the centre of the county, on the Eastern Union Railway, at the junction of the three rivulets which form the river Gipping, which was rendered navigable in 1793, and has proved a great source of prosperity to the town. A considerable trade in corn, malt, coals, slate, and timber, is done here. The Corn Exchange and Assembly Boom were built at a cost of £3000 about 20 years since. The corn market, held on Thursday, is well attended by farmers. A grand agricultural show of cattle, sheep, and pigs, is held early in September; and a horticultural show is held in July for flowers, fruit, and vegetables. There are two annual fairs—viz. on the 10th of July and two following days for toys and pleasure, and on the 12th of August a large lamb fair. The town is well lighted with gas; and it is now a polling-place for the Western division of the county.
The living is a vicarage, valued in the King’s books at £16 15s., is now valued at £380 per annum. The Rev. A. G. H. Hollingsworth is patron and incumbent. The church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Mary, is a large cathedral-like building, in the decorated and early English style of architecture, with tower, nave, aisles, long chancel, and a side chapel, belonging to C. Tyrrell, Esq., called Gripping chapel. In the church is a monument to Dr. Young, once vicar of this place, and tutor to the immortal Milton. There are chapels for Independents, Baptists, Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists; also a National school, and several benevolent institutions for the relief of the poor.
