 The Proclamation
Of 1977
The present Lord of the Manor of Scales alias
Tindall's, Dr. H. Carroll
Parish, takes an active interest in local affairs even though he lives in the
U.S.A. In Worlington Church is hung a framed illuminated proclamation,
beautifully written on calfskin vellum, bearing the arms of the Scales and
Tindall families as well as Dr. Parish's personal arms:
| "A Proclamation by the Lord of the Manor of Scales
alias Tindalls in Worlington in the County of Suffolk. TO ALL &
SINGULAR TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME - GREETINGS. Praise be to God
that in the church of All Saints, Worlington, worship and service have
been offered by its Ministers and Parishioners throughout more than a
thousand years. Under the Sign of the Cross its members have waged the
Christian war against poverty, disease and unbelief. Its vital role in
bringing the Gospel to a world in need of guidance, Christian ethics and
charitable activities shall be commemorated appropriately. THE LAST WEEK
IN MAY of each year is hereby duly proclaimed as "All Saints Church
Week" in the areas falling within the jurisdiction of the Manor of
Scales alias Tindalls.
Given at Worlington in the County of Suffolk the eleventh day of
September in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
seventy-seven."
H. Carroll Parish Jr.

Rose of Lippe, Knight of the Military & Hospitaller Order Of Saint
Lazarus of Jerusalem, Doctor of Philosophy.
