  • ( 78 ) Dr. Bisbie's Manuscript Collections for Long Melford
    ( 78 ) DR. BISBIE'S MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS FOR LONG MELFORD. By REV. CECIL DEEDES, M.A. The name of,Dr. Bisbie, rector of Long Melford,is now very familiar to Suffolk antiquaries, but until the publication of Sir William Parker's History of Long Melfbrd, in 1873, his' claim to be. enrolled among the Suffolkworthies rested on a comparativelyslight founda- tion. Bishop Tanner's edition of Wood's Athenae Oxon. (ii., 1047), describes him ,as being, at the date of his taking the divinity degrees in 1668, " esteemed an excellent Preacher, and a zealousPerson for the Church of :England." Five of his sermons are named in Wood, and perhaps Dr. Grosart, whowrites the short notice of him in the New Dictionary of National Biography,is justified in saying, " His publications consist nearly whollyof violent invectives against the. nonconformists." For, zealbus antiquary as he was, Dr. Bisbie did not publish his antiquarian researches, perhaps because he shrewdly perceived that from a business point of view polemicalsermonswouldpay better. His own generation had been sovigorousin the destructionof antiquities,and his own parish had sufferedso lamentably in the general spoliation and blindiconoclasmof the age,that he probably indited his materials for the History of Long Melford principally for his own satisfaction, and, so far as he regarded posterity, more for a future race of antiquaries than for a public,who in the days of the second James, and the third William,heeded none of those things. It •wasnot till the first decade of the 18th century that the 'Societyof Antiquaries,the Gentlemen'sSocietyof Spalding, and other kindred bodies beganto constitutean educated publicwho caredfor antiqUities,and it wasnot till many years later that the world at large ceased to suspect the sanity of any diligent student of arclneology,or at least -to regard him with .mingledpity and contempt.

The valley has cut through the High Suffolk boulder clay with the brook along its base being a tributary of the River Brett, which flows south to join the Stour. Only the farm associated with Bildeston Hall lies on the west bank of the brook, with the rest of the village area centred along the High Street, Chapel Street and Duke Street containing large numbers of listed buildings. The grade I listed Church of St Mary is located some way to the west of the village along Church Lane.

The built form within the conservation area comprises a mix of timber framed and brick buildings fronting directly onto the pavement.
