Ufford Heritage Trail 28. Willow Farm House Willow Farm Is Thought to Be on the Site of One of Robert De Ufford’S Norman Manor Houses Ufford Heritage Trail 28. Willow Farm House Willow Farm is thought to be on the site of one of Robert de Ufford’s Norman manor houses. The existing house, built in C16th and C17th is Grade II listed: it has a timber-framed structure with colour-washed render, wattle and daub and brick noggin infill, exposed where the render was removed. Before it became a private house in the mid 1900s, Willow Farm was tenanted, and belonged to the trustees of the Thomas Mills Charity, founded in 1703. The charity was a considerable landowner in the area in the C18th and C19th and was responsible for funding the Grade II* listed Almshouses on Station Road, Framlingham (1703), the Unitarian Meeting House on Bridge Street, Framlingham (1717) also listed at Grade II* as well as the Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham. As an interesting detour, about 750m north of Willow Farmhouse, off Loudham Lane and just past the Sick Houses, a track leads to Upper Barn, which was owned by the Mills charity. This isolated barn is a Grade II listed building and is shown on the Ufford tithe map of 1845. A carefully executed inscription on a brick inside the porch apparently names and dates the barn precisely as BRICK BARN 1767. Note on Thomas Mills, Suffolk Baptist and Benefactor In the late 1600s Thomas Mills lived and worked in Framlingham. He was a trained wheelwright and timber merchant and a dissenting Baptist. A wealthy man who inherited a timber importing business in Wapping from his wife, Thomas also owned land in Dallinghoo, Dennington, Parham, Pettistree, Ufford, Wickham Market and Framlingham. When in Framlingham he and his wife would stay in Tomb House. In secret, Thomas would meet fellow nonconformists at Lincoln's Barn, which was conveniently discreet and away from prying eyes. Thomas Mills died in 1703 and, being a dissenter, he was not offered an Anglican burial in the churchyard: instead he was buried in a tomb in his garden..

  • Dennington News Issue 24 .April
    Dennington News Issue 24: April-June 2021 www.denningtonvillagehall.com The Dennington Queen With longer days, warmer weather, vaccines and restrictions slowly being lifted we are very much looking forward to happier days at The Dennington Queen. We would again like to thank everyone who has supported us during the dark days of winter by buying takeaways, it's kept the business ticking over and almost as importantly has kept Lorna and me sane! The good news is that we will continue with the takeaways until we are able to seat customers indoors. The road map at the time of going to print suggests that date will be Monday 17th May. Although we will be allowed to open and customers able to sit outside from 12th April, due to the unpredictable British weather, we don't really feel this is a viable option for us. Having said that, if it's a glorious spring day between those dates, then do give us a call as we would love to open on the odd day for drinks and light lunches if possible. Please see our website www.thedenningtonqueen.co.uk or our facebook page for the latest updates. Jon & Lorna Reeves EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION Despite a chill in the air, the daffodils are out and a couple of sunny days makes it feel like spring has finally come - so let’s hope for warmer, safer and more sociable days ahead! Things will start to reopen cautiously over the next three months, and by the next issue of the Dennington News I hope we’ll be able to look forward to lots of village events, some of which are previewed in this issue.

  • Mark Amoss Pettistree PC Meeting Briefing Note Nov 2018
    Mark Amoss Pettistree PC Meeting briefing note Nov 2018 Please find below the November 2018 briefing for the Pettistree Parish Council meeting on 13th November 2018. Ward boundaries finalised for new East Suffolk Council Ward boundaries for the new East Suffolk Council have been published by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. The Commission’s final recommendations propose that East Suffolk’s 55 councillors should represent eight three-councillor wards, ten two-councillor wards and eleven one-councillor wards. Professor Colin Mellors, Chair of the Commission, said, “We are grateful to everyone who took the opportunity to have their say on how they should be represented in the future. We looked carefully at every submission we received before finalising the recommendations. “We think this pattern of wards strikes the right balance between delivering fairness for voters as well as reflecting the shape of communities across East Suffolk.” In response to local feedback during the public consultation, the Commission has changed some of the proposals it put forward in July, as well as changing the names of some proposed wards as a result of local suggestions. The full recommendations are available on the Commission’s website at www.lgbce.org.uk. The proposed new arrangements must now be implemented by Parliament. A draft Order – the legal document which brings into force the recommendations – will be laid in Parliament in the coming weeks. The draft Order provides for the electoral arrangements to come into force at the authority’s first elections in 2019. Free Parking Announced To Support Good Causes The east Suffolk councils are playing their part in supporting good causes – by offering free car parking at key times.

  • SUFFOLK COUNTY•RECORDS. the Principal Justice of the Peace In
    SUFFOLK COUNTY•RECORDS. The principal justice of the peace in each county is the custos rotulorum or keeper of the records ; the other justices were, formerly, custodes or conservatores pacis, who claimed their power by prescription, or were bound to exercise it by the tenure of their lands, or were chosen by the freeholders in full County Court before the sheriff. After the deposition of Edward II. the election of the conservators of the peace was taken from the people and given to the Kirig. The statute 34 Edw. III. c.1 gave the ,conservators of the peace power of trying felonies, when they acquired the appellation of justices. After 1590 they were ap- pointed to keep the peace in the particular county named, and to enquire of, and to determine .offences in such county committed. It was ordained by Statute 18 Edw. III., st. ,2, c: 2, that two or three of the best reputation in each' county shall be' assigned to be keepers of the peace. By Statute 34 Edw. III. their number was increased to four, and in the reign.of Richard II. their number in each county was eight, which number was further enlarged the growth of the number of statute laws committed from time to time to the charge of the justices of the peace. Any two or more justices of the peace are em- powered by' commissionto hear and determine offences SUFFOLK COUNTY RECORDS. 145 which is the ground of their criminal jurisdiction at Quarter Sessions. " Besides the jurisdiction which the justices of each county at large exercise, in these and other matters at Quarter Sessions, authority is moreover given by various statutes to the justices acting for the several divisions into which' counties are for that purpose distributed, to transact different descriptions of business at special sessions." The Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace is a Court that must be held in each county once in every quarter of a year.
