  • To Blythburgh, an Essay on the Village And
    AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) Alan Mackley Blythburgh 2020 AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) INTRODUCTION Margaret Janet Becker (1904-1953) was the daughter of Harry Becker, painter of the farming community and resident in the Blythburgh area from 1915 to his death in 1928, and his artist wife Georgina who taught drawing at St Felix school, Southwold, from 1916 to 1923. Janet appears to have attended St Felix school for a while and was also taught in London, thanks to a generous godmother. A note-book she started at the age of 19 records her then as a London University student. It was in London, during a visit to Southwark Cathedral, that the sight of a recently- cleaned monument inspired a life-long interest in the subject. Through a friend’s introduction she was able to train under Professor Ernest Tristram of the Royal College of Art, a pioneer in the conservation of medieval wall paintings. Janet developed a career as cleaner and renovator of church monuments which took her widely across England and Scotland. She claimed to have washed the faces of many kings, aristocrats and gentlemen. After her father’s death Janet lived with her mother at The Old Vicarage, Wangford. Janet became a respected Suffolk historian. Her wide historical and conservation interests are demonstrated by membership of the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocesan Advisory Committee on the Care of Churches, and she was a Council member of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

  • 24 the Discovery of Roman Remains at Aldeburgh. May
    24 THE DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS AT ALDEBURGH. MAY, 1907. BY CHARLESGANZ. The late Dr. N. Hele, naturalist and antiquary, in his " Notes about Aldeburgh, Suffolk," 1870 and 1890, wrote,—"Near the eastern bank or wall, bounding the river, about three miles from Aldeburgh, near Hazlewood, is a remarkably shaped piece of land higher than the surround- ing marshes. It abuts upon the river, and into this spot the wall or boundary line is merged ; the height of tbe land about equalling it. The ground is quadrilateral in shape and extends tO the eastward towards the marshes. Tbe face presented towards the river _has from time to time been encroached upon by high tides, and presents an abrupt surface in which many oyster shells are apparent, as also a dark greasy soil. The general appearance is artificial and from the quantity of shells, bones, teeth, tusks, charcoal and fragments of rough pottery, it is probable that this must have been originally a small Roman station, the situation. • is remarkable, commanding a view of the river " •—and concludes that the fragments of pottery, •&c., he had found were Roman. Acting on these .few tangible data the members of the Aldeburgh Literary Society, having obtained the per- mission of the landowner, Capt. F'. C. Vernon,Wentwo'rth, R.N.,and of Mr. Etheridge, the tenant, proceeded to in, vestigate this risiug mound on Barber's Point, not only by digging -trenches across, but also by sinking trial pits. The mound to-day is a rabbit warren covered with bracken.. Some years previously Capt.

  • Halesworth Area History Notes
    Halesworth Area History Notes I. HALESWORTH IN THE 11 th CENTURY Modern Halesworth was founded during the Middle Saxon period (650AD=850AD), and probably situated on the side of a ridge of sand and gravel close to the Town River. The evidence we have of early Halesworth includes a row of large post-holes, a burial of possibly a male of middle age radio-carbon dated to 740AD, and a sub-circular pit containing sheep, pig and ox bones. The ox bones show evidence of butchery. Sherds of ‘Ipswich Ware’ pottery found near the post-holes suggest trading links with the large industrial and mercantile settlement of Ipswich. It is now thought likely that ‘Ipswich Ware’ did not find its way to North Suffolk until after about 720AD. Perhaps Halesworth was also a dependent settlement of the Royal Estate at Blythburgh. By the 11 th century the settlement had moved to the top of the ridge east of the church. It’s possible that ‘Halesuworda’ had become a strategic crossing place where the Town River and its marshy flood plain, were narrow enough to be crossed. Perhaps Halesworth was also a tax centre for the payment of geld, as well as a collecting point for produce from the surrounding countryside with craft goods, agricultural produce and food rents moving up and down the river between Halesworth, Blythburgh and the coastal port of Dunwich. At the time of the Norman Conquest ‘Halesuworda’ consisted of a rural estate held by Aelfric, and two smaller manors whose freemen were under the patronage of Ralph the Constable and Edric of Laxfield.

  • Bramfield Suffolk Putting Its Head Above the Parapet Or Standing And
    1 Bramfield, Suffolk, putting its head above the parapet or standing and being counted. First, a little about where Bramfield is and why I have chosen the following three episodes in the very quiet and uneventful history of the parish of St Andrew’s near Halesworth. Bramfield is a small parish about 7 miles inland from the North Sea coast at Dunwich and to the west of the A12. It lies in a valley formed by a tributary of the Blyth, the church standing above the village on a spur of land. St Andrew’s is well known for several outstanding features. It has the only separate round tower in Suffolk as well as probably one of the country’s finest rood screens. This and a 15th century wall painting where a wooden cross was erected, ‘the good rood’, the Coke memorial by Nicholas Stone and the sad ledger slab relating the tragic life of Bridgett Applewhaite bring visitors from far and wide. The church is mentioned in Domesday and was given to Blythburgh Priory by 1160 by the lord of the manor an under tenant of the Earl of Richmond. This is a drawing by Alfred Suckling from his History of Blything Hundred in 1845 and shows the church much as it was (with the exception of the 17th century Town Houses by the tower) in the 14th century. The three episodes take place in the mid sixteenth, seventeenth and twentieth centuries all concerning clergymen who found the people of Bramfield difficult, namely AntonyWilkenson the “popish cuerat”, Bartholomew Allerton, the man from foreign parts and the Rev Cyril Barker, a square peg in a round hole 2 This article is not a condemnation of these clergy for they were all men of their time, but although not part of the secular structure, because of their important and powerful position in the parish or as we would view it, village society, they were (certainly in the first two cases and mistakenly in the third case) the people who most closely touched the lives of ordinary individuals.
