  • The Rectors of Martlesham
    THE RECTORS OF MARTLESHAM By HAROLD R. LINGWOOD. The long continuity of Christian worship at Martlesham has extended from the reign of Edward the Confessor down to the present year. Of those who held the cure of souls here in Norman and early Plantagenet times nothing is known. There seems, however, to be an unbroken sequence of rectors from the early years of Edward I. None appears to have risen to eminence. It may be that the seclusion of the place attracted men ' who would ambition shun.' Once installed, they were out of the eye of authority and promotion passed them by. The longest rectorate was that of John Steffe, extending to 59 years (1639-1698)' the next being that of Ernest George Doughty, 54 years (1861-1915). Between the coming of the first George Doughty in 1698 to the resignation of his descendant, Frederic Ernest Doughty in 1944, a period of 246 years, the living was held by members of that family (George, George Clarke, Ernest George, Frederic Ernest) and their near connections (Thomas Goodwin, Thomas D'Eye Betts) for a total of 218 years. The patronage, which came to them through the marriage of George Doughty of Theberton Hall to Anne, youngest daughter of John Goodwin of Martlesham Hall, in 1758, is still in Doughty hands. The details contained in the following list have been consider- ably condensed, in order to save space. Unless otherwise stated, the dates are taken from the Institution Books at Norwich; the name of the patron, when known, follows that of the Incumbent.

  • Lost Country Houses of Suffolk
    LOST COUNTRY HOUSES OF SUFFOLK W. M. Roberts Lost Country Houses of Suffolk Figure 1. Locations of Suffolk's lost country houses INTRODUCTION The Social and Economic Background NOTHER BIG HOUSE DOOMED'- thus, in March 1957, the Suffolk Chronicle & Mercury ‘A announced the prospective demolition of one of Suffolk's large country houses, Branches Park, in the west of the county. This was not the first such report that the newspapers had carried, nor was it to be the last. From the end of the Great War through until the last quarter of the twentieth century large houses continued to be demolished, and it was not until changes in planning law and the development of new uses for large properties stemmed the flow of destruction that the considerable damage which had been done to the county's historical, architectural and artistic heritage came to an end. That damage, which occurred right across the country, was graphically portrayed in 1974 in an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum and in the accompanying book The Destruction of the Country House.[1] The book listed some 700 houses in England which had been pulled down or destroyed by fire and contained illustrations of nearly two hundred of them. Through the exhibition and the book the extent of the catastrophe that had occurred was brought to public attention. Not all the houses were of great architectural merit nor were their contents of particular distinction. However, many of the houses were the work of great architects and were set in gardens and parks designed and improved by the best-known landscape gardeners of past centuries.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll-back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
