In The Beginning
In 1707 George Georgeus Millard (also called Miller) accepted appointment as Vicar of Box and in doing so established a clerical dynasty that lasted over 200 years. When appointed to Box, George was unmarried, but even clergymen can fall for the charms and endearments of the fairer sex and, so it was, that on the 15th January 1729 he married Susanna Webb of Ashwick Hall, Marshfield.
She was the daughter of William and Elizabeth Webb and anyone who has read Jane Austen can sympathise with her father, William. In Pride and Prejudice Mr Bennett despaired of marrying off the five silliest girls in Hertfordshire and Mrs Bennett was almost hysterical when Elizabeth spurned the advances of a clergyman, Mr Collins. Well, pity poor Mr Webb who had six daughters to marry and, like the Bennetts, no male heirs.
Clergymen in those days, vicars that is, were good value in the marriage market; they had a steady income, a vicarage and often good social connections. And frankly, they were not overstretched, so the genteel daughters of gentlemen could lead a relatively comfortable life as a clergyman's wife. As events transpired, George Miller married Susanna, the third youngest of the Webb family. When George married, he was already well into middle age, 52 to be precise, and his wife 41. Despite their advancing years, the union did produce a daughter, Lucy, born on 2nd March 1730.
Enter The Horlocks
George died about 1739 and it was left to Susanna to find a suitable husband for her sister Lucy Miller. Whether arranged marriage or one born of love, we will never know, but Lucy married Isaac Horlock, the son of Benjamin Horlock of Trowbridge, about 1754. It is likely that Isaac joined his wife at Ashwick. Indeed, Lucy gave birth to several of their children there, although the second child, a boy, Isaac William, was baptised at Trowbridge on 22nd December 1756.
Now why would Isaac Horlock leave Trowbridge? It may well be his financial position was precarious and Ashwick offered a more comfortable lifestyle, or that he recognised the prospects offered by the Webb Estate. Whatever the reason, Isaac Horlock had the possibility that he might inherit Ashwick Hall. How this came about is curious given that Susanna had two older sisters: one, Lucy, still unmarried, as well as a younger sister, married, with a son, a possible male heir. Notably, the name Webb now appears to precede Horlock as the family name.
Facing His Creditors
Up to now, no mention has been made of The Rocks, a substantial Jacobean mansion (now a ruin) adjacent to Ashwick Hall. This was an impressive estate of over 1,000 acres owned by the Jacob family. About 1790 the last of the Jacobs, a spinster, died without a direct heir and who should inherit, none other than Isaac Horlock (now calling himself Isaac Webb Horlock).
This was indeed a fruitful union, but as often is the case with the Horlocks, Isaac Webb Horlock was soon to be called to face a meeting of creditors in the Guildhall Bath. It seems he was bankrupt. On the 17th August 1793, Isaac Webb Horlock, William Anderson and Caleb Jones, co-partners in what was the Bath and Somersetshire Bank, met their creditors. Isaac took a financial hit, he had to sell parcels of land at Kyneton, Blandford Dorset and Trowbridge; shares in the New Assembly Rooms in Bath; Bank House (Somerset House, Milsom Street) itself; and the Manor House with associated farm stock at Ashwick.
Despite this setback, Isaac Webb Horlock appears to have continued his comfortable life, on what, after all, was the Webb’s Estates at Ashwick.
Isaac William Horlock, Vicar of Box
In 1799 John Morris, Vicar of Box, died. His uncle, Isaac William Horlock, was well established in the Church and had his sights on Box Parish. The latter was easily achieved if you had the money to purchase the advowson (right to appoint a clergyman of your choosing). In the case of Box Parish, the advowson was owned by Isaac William Horlock; in short, he could appoint himself. So it was, that the name Horlock became part of the fabric of the church of St Thomas à Becket.
Of course, a vicar needs a wife and Isaac William Horlock had found one in Ann Smith of Leicestershire. Ann was one of five daughters born to the wife of Holled Smith, an extremely wealthy attorney residing in Normanton Turvill, Leicestershire. (It seems the Horlocks had an uncanny gift of identifying well-off families overburdened with daughters but bereft of male heirs).
At this point it is worth considering the wealth of the Smith Family. It seems that his legal practice had clients from both the landed gentry and the new rich industrialists; they must have paid well given that Holled’s own estate was said to be of about one thousand acres as well as several farms. When he died about 1807-08 his estate was sold to Richard Arkwright, son of the inventor of the spinning Jenny for £33,000. Ann’s share of her father’s estate came at an extremely fortunate time when Isaac William was about to embark on building Box House after the Vicarage was destroyed by fire. (It is not an unreasonable assumption therefore that Box House was built with Ann’s money given the financial state of the Webb-Horlock’s at that time).
However, Ann brought more than money to the Horlock household. Unlike her mother (Elizabeth Smith nee Grace) she was very good at producing sons. She bore him three sons: Isaac John (b 1801 at Ashwick), Knightly William (b 1805 at Box) and Holled Darrell Cave Smith Webb Horlock (born 1807 [or 1811] at The Rocks). Only the latter would enter the Church. In about 1805 the old Box vicarage burnt down. William and Ann perhaps de-camped to the Rocks and that is why Holled Darrell was born there. Box House was built as the replacement vicarage.
The Break Up of the Webb’s Estate
Let us now focus on the two older brothers. Isaac John Horlock inherited The Rocks and in true family fashion found himself a bride from a very wealthy family. She was Phoebe Boode the daughter of Andreas Christian Boode of Lucknam Park. Phoebe's father was the son of an immensely wealthy plantation owner who, on his death in Demerara, had five coffee plantations reputed to have been worked by 2,000 slaves.
This was not a happy marriage. They divorced in 1834 and both quickly re-married, but not before having three children: a boy Frederick Geldart Webbe Horlock who was destined to marry the Hon Emily Arabella Jane St John; a daughter Anna Pheobe; and another son who died very young. After his divorce Isaac John appears to have been involved in an inheritance dispute with his former wife and in the end he was declared bankrupt in the year 1853. His next appearance is in a pensioners lodging house in Whixley, Yorkshire. In the 1871 census whilst at Whixley he described himself as the inheritor of Oakfield Manor and owner of The Rocks. In the intervening years it seems he was a property speculator and was involved in several court cases which questioned his honesty. He returned to Marshfield in his final years.
Knightly William inherited Ashwick Hall and, like his grandfather, became a magistrate. His other interest was fox hunting and he wrote several books on the subject. His son, Maxwell, is a bit of a mystery, but having had a typical middle class upbringing he is found in Nottingham jail in 1871. What crime he committed and for how long he was confined, I have not discovered. In 1849 Knightly William sold Ashwick Hall signalling the end of the Webb estates.
Rev Holled Darrell Cave Smith Webb Horlock and the Sudell Family
Rev Holled Darrell Cave Smith Webb Horlock was appointed Vicar of Box in 1831 and began a ministry which was to last over 40 years until 1874. He wasted no time in finding a wife and on the 3rd Oct 1832 he married Elizabeth Sudell of Ashley House, the daughter of Henry Sudell, a cotton magnate, who had moved from Blackburn having been declared bankrupt. Prior to this, Henry was reputed to be a millionaire with a fortune that enabled him, in 1799, to purchase a large estate and build a truly impressive mansion, Woodfold Hall in Mellor, designed in the classical Palladian architectural style popular at the time (Neston Park is another example).
It is said that Henry Sudell's entry into Blackburn was like a state occasion. He was equipped with a magnificent carriage drawn by four matched horses ridden by postilions in crimson and gold. However, speculative investments in the continental and American markets led to his financial ruin, necessitating a speedy move to Ashley. Despite this, he could still live in relative comfort for the times.
In the 1841 census Holled Darrell Cave Smith Horlock, is living at the vicarage, Box House, with two servants. Curiously, neither Elizabeth (wife), nor Elizabeth (daughter named after her mother) nor Darrell Holled (son) is recorded as present. By 1851, Holled appears rather better off since the census records him at the vicarage with Elizabeth now aged 42, his daughter Elizabeth, now 17 years old and five servants which include a housekeeper, cook, a coachman and a footman born in Jamaica, named Joseph Bartebo.
There is no reference to Holled’s son, Darrell Holled Webb Horlock, born 1839, (his birth does not appear to have been registered) until 1851 when he is found living at the Hermitage with his Aunt Alice, his mother's sister, when he was described as a scholar. Now let us pause and question why a country parson should employ so many household staff? The answer, perhaps, is that his wife Elizabeth, having grown up in a grand household, was trying to re-capture the past. However, in the years between censuses, Holled had published a book, An Exposition of the Parables which surprisingly is still in print today. I cannot imagine this was a best seller yielding enough money to employ so many staff, but with his other published works he may have made some money.
Death Most Premature
By the end of the decade, the domestic bliss (if indeed that was the case) was shattered, for on the 2nd January 1858, Alice died. On the following day, 3rd January, the wife Elizabeth followed her sister to the grave. It seems that death occurred following a dinner held at Box House to celebrate Elizabeth’s 49th Birthday.
An inquest at the Northey Arms concluded that they had died as a result of emanations from the churchyard. In consequence, burials ceased and the A4 cemetery was opened. As to whether Holled gained some financial benefit from the death of both his wife and Alice, we do not know. What is known is that probate records show Alice had £8,000 in personal possessions. Alice did record in the 1851 census that she had an Independent fortune. Clearly, Henry Sudell had made provision for his daughters. Following his wife's demise, life seems to have continued unchanged in the Horlock household and in the 1861 census he still has five servants, including a coachman and footman.
The Vicar Needs a Wife, Again
Jane Austen wrote Every man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Clearly, Holled took note of this, for in 1863, when he was 56, he secured a new wife. She was Charlotte Houghton Clarke from London, aged just 19 !!! Charlotte soon bore him a daughter, Annette, born 1864-5. However, this lady was high maintenance as the 1871 census records they now required another domestic bringing the live-in household staff at Box House to six.
For whatever reason, the Horlocks decided to leave Box, with Holled accepting a living as Vicar of Popleford, Devon. He was now 65 years old and I suspect, diminished in fortune, no longer able to maintain the life of a country gentleman in Holy Orders. In short, one of the last of a dying breed who became parish priests through wealth and family status. Holled would live into the 20th century, dying about 1902.
His second wife, Charlotte, had died some years earlier. His daughter Annette never married but moved to Oxford taking with her Georgina, her mother’s sister, and Percy Tozer, a servant/gardener they had employed in Popleford. Both Annette and Georgina had private means but they now lived in a bungalow, rather than, as was the case in Box, a rather grand vicarage.
The Return of the Horlocks
Whilst Box might have thought they had finished with the Horlocks, the Horlocks had not finished with Box. In 1920, Henry Darrell Suddell Sweetapple, grandson of Holled Darrell Cave Smith Webb Horlock, became Vicar of Box. He stayed just 4 years and was the last vicar to obtain his post by the advowson system. Thereafter, the Bishop of Bristol appointed the clergy.
In 1707 George Georgeus Millard (also called Miller) accepted appointment as Vicar of Box and in doing so established a clerical dynasty that lasted over 200 years. When appointed to Box, George was unmarried, but even clergymen can fall for the charms and endearments of the fairer sex and, so it was, that on the 15th January 1729 he married Susanna Webb of Ashwick Hall, Marshfield.

George died about 1739 and it was left to Susanna to find a suitable husband for her sister Lucy Miller. Whether arranged marriage or one born of love, we will never know, but Lucy married Isaac Horlock, the son of Benjamin Horlock of Trowbridge, about 1754. It is likely that Isaac joined his wife at Ashwick. Indeed, Lucy gave birth to several of their children there, although the second child, a boy, Isaac William, was baptised at Trowbridge on 22nd December 1756.
Now why would Isaac Horlock leave Trowbridge? It may well be his financial position was precarious and Ashwick offered a more comfortable lifestyle, or that he recognised the prospects offered by the Webb Estate. Whatever the reason, Isaac Horlock had the possibility that he might inherit Ashwick Hall.
