H. J eayes of the MSS. Department British Museum, and to Mr V. B. Redstone, Hon. Secretary of the Norfolk I and Suffolk Archac:ological Society, for help in deciphering the most ancient of the Betts' charters. The late Rev. Canon J. J. Raven, D.D., author of" The Church Bells of Suffolk," etc., also gave me most kind and valuable assistance in this respect. Mr Harold Warnes of Eye kindly allowed me to examine the rolls of the manor of Wortham Hall, and other documents under his care. To the Rev. Edmund Farrer, author of "Portraits in Suffolk Houses," I am greatly indebted for expert and friendly help. Mr G. Milner-Gibson Cullum, F.S.A., has kindly allowed me to consult his as yet unpublished Genealogical Notes. The Rev. C. W. Moule, Fellow and Librarian of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, was so good as to assist me with information respecting the" Red Book of Eye." The Rev. Sir William Hyde Parker has favoured me with some interesting suggestions. My thanks for their courtesy in permitting me to consult their parish registers, are due to the Rector of Wortham, the Rev. J. E. F. Faning; to the Rev. C. U. Manning, Rector of Diss; to the Rev. C. B. Nash, Rector of Y axley ; and to the Rev. W. C. Badger, late Rector of Bressingham. The incumbents of many other parishes, as well as numerous long-suffering correspondents and friends, assisted me with helpful answers to troublesome enquiries. vii viii THE BETTS OF WORTHAM IN SUFFOLK And I take this opportunity of especially thanking Mr J. Sancroft Holmes for his generosity in giving me permission to use his MS. copies of the correspondence of Archbishop Sancroft, the originals of which were formerly at Wortham. K. F. D.

Like most old houses, Wortham Hall or Wortham Manor, for it has gone by both names, stands close to a road, the back of the house, once the front and by far the oldest part, literally abutting upon it. The road is known as Fen Street. This most ancient portion of the present building was in all likelihood the actual tenement in " Fenn Strete Waye," to which, in the year 1480 or thereabouts, John Bettys brought his bride Elizabeth Wryght, daughter of an even then old Wortham family. Through this marriage the Wryght estates came to the Betts, who were destined to be known as the ·Betts of Wortham from that nineteenth year of the fourth Edward to the third year of our late King Edward the Seventh. The opposite side, the front of the present house looks south over the park, where still stand oaks so aged that 3 4 THE BETTS OF WORTHAM IN SUFFOLK they must have witnessed the founding of the family which,they have now outlasted. The house was evidently altered and added to as time went on; the front, pleasing and eminently homelike, with its gabled wings and old chimney stacks, dates only from Tudor times. But, before the house was dismantled after the death of the last of the family, it was the interior which excited most particular interest :-the sunny home-like rooms, crowded with beautiful antique furniture worn by faith­ ful service to many generations ; low ceilings crossed by massive oak beams ; panelled walls hung close with family portraits; ancient prints interspersed and thrown into relief by blue and white delft plates; suits of armour of the Stuart period in hall and passages ; and in the drawing-room, upon magnificently carved and inlaid cabinets, and adorning the walls from floor to ceiling, china of many hues and varieties, which later, when it had to be sold, fetched fabulous prices at Christie's.

  • Daniel Browninge of Crowfield; a Little-Known High Sheriff of Suffolk
    DANIEL BROWNINGE OF CROWFIELD: A LITTLE-KNOWN HIGH SHERIFF OF SUFFOLK AND THE STOWMARKET ASSIZES OF 1695 byDAVIDALLEN SOMEYEARSAGO,in the course of archival cataloguing work in the Suffolk Record Office at Ipswich, the present writer discovered a small bundle of correspondence and papers relating to the execution of the officeof High Sheriffof Suffolkby Daniel Browninge of Crowfield in 1695.1Quite apart from their usefulnessas an illustration of the High Sheriff's duties, the working of the shriev- alty and the expenses of the officein the late 17th century, these papers are of interest on two other counts. In the first place they relate to a man who, though of sufficientlocal prominence, wealth and landed estate to qualify him for service as High Sheriff, appeared to be otherwise unknown; and secondly they concern in part the arrangements made for the holding of the Lent Assizes of March 1695 in Stowmarket, which was not the usual Assizetown. Most of the officialletters addressed to Browninge as High Sheriff were written by his Under- Sheriff,Bartholomew Paman the younger of Wickhambrook, and with a few exceptions which were to be left at Ipswich or at the Stonham 'Pie', were directed to him at his residence at Crowfield Hall. The Hall was the manor house of the manor of Crowfield-cum-Bockingin Crowfield, yet no mention of the Browninge family's connexion with the manor is to be found in any of the standard sources. Copinger's account of the descent of the manor states that it was acquired by John Har- bottle, an Ipswich merchant, from Sir Roger Wodehouse in 1547.

  • 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.

  • Brandeston and Kettleburgh Parish News February 2012
    BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH PARISH NEWS FEBRUARY 2012 1 THE PARISHES OF BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH Dear Friends, Money is much on our minds at the moment. The world is buzzing with “the deficit” and the euro and so on. However, although I thought I would write about MONEY this month, doing so does not make me feel comfortable! Money, particularly lack of it, does make us anxious, of course. This is because it is the means by which we “manage” our circumstances and pay the cost of living. But money is more than simply the means of survival or a passport to comfort, convenience or recreation. Actually, it is a medium by which we can share of ourselves, exercise generosity and, perhaps in a small way, even (help to) change the world! Alright, what about the church and money? Well, like all organisations the Church needs money to function. Supporting and sustaining Christian fellowship in every community; proclaiming, worshipping, witnessing; befriending those who are going through difficult times; nurturing the young in faith; offering baptism, marriage and burial to all who seek it; the church exists for these purposes, and they do not come cost free. There’s the cost of training, paying and housing clergy and their families; and of course our beautiful historic churches have to be maintained, whose size and age make them a real financial burden. Cost is one thing, but what about value? How do we value what the church provides? Where does it lie on the scale between irrelevant and essential? Is it a “facility” for occasional use? Is it an
