    Undulating Ancient Farmlands

    23 Undulating Estate Framlands EP/Edit1/02.08.10 Undulating Ancient Farmlands Key Characteristics • Undulating arable landscape • Field pattern generally a random ancient pattern with occasional areas of regular fields associated with former mediaeval deer parks. • Oak, ash and field maple as hedgerow trees • Substantial open areas created for airfields and by post WWII agricultural improvement • Studded with blocks of ancient woodland • Dispersed settlement pattern of loosely clustered villages, hamlets and isolated farmsteads • Villages often associated with greens or former greens • Rich stock of mediaeval and Tudor timber-framed and brick buildings and moated sites • A large scale landscape with long undulating open views trees, either in hedges or in woods, are always a prominent feature • In the undulating landscape, crop production, especially oilseeds can be visually prominent Location This landscape type only occurs in one place, which is an area of clay ‘upland’ bordering the Stour and Glem rivers in south-west Suffolk. The area lies between Clare and Cowlinge in the west and Shimpling and Lawshall in the east, extending northwards as far as Chedburgh. Geology, landform and soils Depden, in the northern part of this area, at 128m OD, is the highest point in Suffolk. The elevated plateau of chalky clay till laid down by the Anglian glaciation is, however, much dissected by small valleys, giving a markedly undulating landscape with some quite steep slopes. The sloping land, combined with the high chalk content of the glacial till, has created a large area of clay soils of the Hanslope series that are good for arable farming, (in contrast to the more difficult to cultivate Beccles series found on the clay plateau of High Suffolk).

    A Debenham and Debnam Baptism Index

    A Debenham and Debnam Baptism Index This index contains pointers to baptism records of members of Debenham and Debnam families prior to July 1837. Most of the entries have not been substantiated by reference to the original registers or copies of the registers, and unless a specific date is shown should be considered an indication only of a likely baptism. It is certainly incomplete, and further entries will be added from time to time as they become available. It should be noted that spellings in the original register entries may vary quite widely. This is mainly because before the nineteenth century literacy was a scarce resource. The information has been drawn from a large number of sources, including original register entries or copies, researched pedigrees and much information gratefully received from other workers in the field. It is presented “as is”, with no guarantee of accuracy. I shall, as always, be very pleased to receive further information, both corrections and additions to the present list. To make the best use of space counties are shown using three-letter Chapman Codes, a genealogical standard widely used for the purpose.

  • The "King" Family

    The "King" Family

    16 family with that of any of the early King armigers has not as yet been established. King of Stansfield, Suffolk. Arms: "Quarterly first and fourth, Sable, a lion rampant, argent, crowned, or, between three crosses-crosslet of the second; second and third, azure, five lozenges cory in fesse, or, on each an escallop shell, gules, on a chief of the second a griffin's head, erased, of the third enclosed by two fleur de lis of the first." Crest: "An ostrich's neck erased, argent, gorged with a coronet, ? u^wc,azure, beak,utao., sable." The origin of the arms forming the second and third quarter- ings has not been traced but they probably are those of some ancestress, whose family became allied with that of King. This Kingfamily is one of the earliest traceable families of the name and sprang from Richard Kinge of Bury St. Edmunds, Co. Suffolk, who died in 1514, leaving a willin which he men- tions a brother Sir Nicholas King,* a wife Cicely, to whom he leaves the house they live in, a place called Moyses Hall, with barn and garden in Pudding Lane, London, and lands at New- market, Cambridge, Caxton, Compton, Norfolk, a son Thomas, and a daughter Alice, who married William Lawrence. Thomas King (Richard), of Bury "St. Edmunds, married Johanna , and had issue, Richard, sonne and heir," John, Thomas, Hester and Dorothy. Richard Kinge (Thomas, Richard), presumably of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, married Edgar, a sister of Thomas Edgar of Exoninge, Co. Suffolk, and Anderton by Montayns, Lincolnshire, and had known issue, Richard.

    ( 345 ) STANSHELD PARISH NOTES. BY REV. J. R. LITTLE. The Church of Stansfield All Saints, in the Arch- deaconry of Sudbury, lies •about 11 miles south of Bury St. Edmund's, and five miles north of Clare. It stands on: high ground, overlooking the village •on the opposite hill. Domesday mentions a Church in Stansfield, with tithes and glebe. Of that church nothing is now standing : but a few fragments of Norman masonry may - be seen embedded in the walls of the preSent fabric, -and bard by 'lies,a small square cap of a respond or. corbel of the Transition. period (c. 1190), with graceful foliation. • And in a neighbouring barn an oaken column with cap of similar dimensions and design, still forms one of the supports. Hence it may be inferred that the earlier church was partly• of stone and partly of wood. • The. present Church is built. •of rubble, •faced with freestone. Its walls present a veritable museum of geological fragments out of the boulder clay : and in them are also embedded a few blocks. of what seem to be Roman concrete. The Church consists of W. tower, nave with fine south porch and. chancel. The chancel is of the second pointed style (c. 1350), on the outer face of the east wall are two large cinquefoil-headed niches with foliated ogee canopies and finials. The east window is a Perpendicular modern insertion. On the south side is a priest's door. The nave, porch, and tower, are probably a century later than the.chancel, and 3rd pointed.
