My keening has resonances that range from the discomforting to the acutely painful, as the whole charged mother-son relationship surfaces. Although we never spoke about it, I imagine that my being somewhere, living a separate crowded adult life, yet still and always embedded in her, gave a meaning to her existence. I know that this is the case for me, in reverse. In her being there was something of the hearth and the firelight, around which we gathered in the evening, deciphering the bright caverns and dark volcanoes, in the glowing, sputtering coals. Above all there was a steadfast level of care, concern and support, which continued till the end. Alone with my thoughts, I am very much aware of life being like the dash of a bewildered bird, fluttering through a crowded hall on a dark night; emerging into warmth and light, only to return to an unimaginable blackness. Really, our only legacies are reminiscences of this uncertain passage, told or written, of a blurred flight, faster than we can imagine at the beginning. It seems appropriate that my mothers death should cause me to write a preface for this uneven flow of people and places, which she started by wondering why her father called their home, behind the Grimsby fish dock, 'Aldeburgh'. She met and married Arthur Bellamy in Grimsby, where they were both children of recent emigrants from, as my father used to put it, 'the country'. They met in Grimsby because their fathers were attracted to this corner of Lincolnshire by the promise of a better life. Ted Kemp and Fred Bellamy settled in newly built terraces, hastily put up to house families growing with the expanding fishing industry. They are mute as to whether their expectations were fulfilled- I have my doubts. The only substance remaining of their family networks, are the 'two up and two down' Victorian 'starter homes', packed tightly into criss-cross streets, 'over the marsh', to the west of the old town centre, and New Clee to the east. My father died before the seed of the family tree, which has germinated in the following chapters, was set. Questions I would like to ask him now, will probably remain forever unanswered. His specific contribution to my research comes from a conversation we once had together on a bike ride through the fens- a reminiscence that his father came from the wetlands of Market Deeping. His contribution to my geographical outlook came, I am sure, from his encouragement and support of my tendency to roam. I also believe he kindled a latent spirit of historical enquiry by giving me his own rusty keys to a countryside, which started just a few yards down our road. At first by walking, then by bike, we would traverse the local parishes, he making me aware how important it is to be able to tell an oak from an ash, me delaying the journey by collecting far too many different coloured snails from the hedgerow, to keep as jam-jar pets. I don't think it’s too far fetched to think of my interests in the past beginning with our walks across the pastures of Weelsby, Clee and Scartho, lured by ancient houses and churches. Old Clee was our local focus for things historical. Everyone knew Saxons built its tower! It seems as though as soon as I could read, we would recite a list of former erstwhile villagers, picking out each one from names on their tombstones, which overlooked the narrow lane. When my 9 sister was born my mother also took me regularly to this place; the local baby clinic was held in the parish hall.

  • Awalkthroughblythburghvi
    AA WWAALLKK tthhrroouugghh BBLLYYTTHHBBUURRGGHH VVIILLLLAAGGEE Thiis map iis from the bookllet Bllythburgh. A Suffollk Viillllage, on salle iin the church and the viillllage shop. 1 A WALK THROUGH BLYTHBURGH VILLAGE Starting a walk through Blythburgh at the water tower on DUNWICH ROAD south of the village may not seem the obvious place to begin. But it is a reminder, as the 1675 map shows, that this was once the main road to Blythburgh. Before a new turnpike cut through the village in 1785 (it is now the A12) the north-south route was more important. It ran through the Sandlings, the aptly named coastal strip of light soil. If you look eastwards from the water tower there is a fine panoramic view of the Blyth estuary. Where pigs are now raised in enclosed fields there were once extensive tracts of heather and gorse. The Toby’s Walks picnic site on the A12 south of Blythburgh will give you an idea of what such a landscape looked like. You can also get an impression of the strategic location of Blythburgh, on a slight but significant promontory on a river estuary at an important crossing point. Perhaps the ‘burgh’ in the name indicates that the first Saxon settlement was a fortified camp where the parish church now stands. John Ogilby’s Map of 1675 Blythburgh has grown slowly since the 1950s, along the roads and lanes south of the A12. If you compare the aerial view of about 1930 with the present day you can see just how much infilling there has been.

  • 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.

  • Walk 9 - a Walk to the Past
    Woodhall Spa Walks No 9 Walk 9 - A walk to the past Start from Royal Square - Grid Reference: TF 193631 Approx 1 hour This route takes the walker to the ruins of Kirkstead Abbey, (dissolved by Henry VIII over 300 years before Woodhall Spa came into being) and the little 13th Century Church of St Leonards. From Royal Square, take the Witham Road, towards the river, passing shops and houses until fields open out to your left. Soon after, look for the entrance to Abbey Lane (to the left). Follow this narrow lane. You will eventually cross the Beck (see also walks 6 and 7) as it approaches the river; the monks from the Abbey once re-routed it to obtain drinking water. Ahead, on the right, is Kirkstead Old Hall, which dates from the 17th Century. Following the land, you cannot miss the Abbey ruin ahead. All that remains now is part of the Abbey Church, but under the humps and bumps of the field are other remains that have yet to be properly excavated, though a brief exploration before the laqst war revealed some of the magnificence of the Cistercian Abbey. Beyond is the superb little Church of St Leonards ( the patron saint of prisoners), believed to have been built as a Chantry Chapel and used by travellers and local inhabitants. The Cistercians were great agriculturalists and wool from the Abbey lands commanded a high price for its quality. A whole community of craftsmen and labourers would have grown up around the Abbey as iut gained lands and power.

  • February 2019 Newsletter
    for Issue Feb 2019 Connecting Communities ince becoming leader of Suffolk County Council, I have continued to keep broadband at the top of my agenda. I am pleased to tell you that the Better Broadband for Suffolk program has Sreached a new milestone, 93% of homes and businesses across Suffolk can now upgrade to a Superfast Broadband service. This is fantastic news and means an overwhelming majority of residents, businesses and organisations can now enjoy the benefits of faster and more reliable internet speeds. But as a resident and a councillor of a rural ward where some premises still do not enjoy these benefits, I know we have further to go. We already have a contract in place for Openreach to extend fibre broadband coverage to 98% of all Suffolk premises by 2020. But even beyond this, we are committed to reaching 100% Superfast Broadband coverage in Suffolk as quickly as possible. So, if you haven’t already done so, check if Superfast Broadband is available where you live by following the simple steps below, but don’t forget, even if broadband is available, you will need to upgrade your connection to enjoy the benefits of the higher speeds. I look forward to updating you on our future progress. Cllr. Matthew Hicks Leader of Suffolk County Council and Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Infrastructure Here are three simple steps to upgrade Step 1 Finding out whether Better Broadband is available to your postcode Visit our website at www.betterbroadbandsuffolk.com/upgrade-now. Just having the ability to connect doesn’t mean you automatically have Superfast Broadband.
