The church is a perpetual curacy, and was worth about L.13 per annum till the year 1743, when the interest of L.200 was allotted to it by the governors of Queen Ann's bounty: with this addition it is now worth a-" goto source Page 32:- "[a]bout L.24 per annum. Mr Mattinson, the late incumbent, (who died about the year 1770,) was of so singular a character, that a sketch of his life will, I hope, prove not unentertaining. His birth-place I cannot find; but it appears that he buried and married both his father and his mother, baptized his own wife when an infant one month old, and when she became marriageable published the banns himself. He and his wife carded and spun that part of the tithe-wool which fell to his lot, viz. one third; and of so saving and penurious a disposition was he, that he died worth more money than his whole income would have gained him had it been laid out at compound interest. A school which he taught added about L.5 to his income; but even this will hardly account for the sums he left at his death, which happened in the 96th year of his age, after having served this curacy for 56 years. His wife was equally eminent as a midwife, performing her operations for the small sum of one shilling: but as, according to ancient custom, she was likewise cook at the christening dinner, she received some culinary perquisites that somewhat increased her profits. On these occasions, none more devoutly prayed for the speedy recovery of the good wife; a quick return of these comforts, &c. I cannot imagine from what, (unless the old custom of cooking,) these venerable matrons have obtained the name of Gully-Wives and Houdy-Wives; both of these names mean nearly the same thing, Houdy being derived from houwen, which in the Dutch signifies cutting. One thing more I must beg leave to mention concerning Mrs Mattinson: On the day of her marriage, her father boasted that his two daughters were married to the two best men in Patterdale, the priest and the bagpiper. Notwithstanding the avarice of the priest, after his death his widow and children spent all he had amassed, and she was obliged to seek support in the College of Matrons at Wigton."
