  • In Memoriam: the Late Earl of Iveagh, K.P. H. T. G
    IN MEMORIAM. 365 IN MEMORIAM. THE LATEEARLOF IVEAGH,K.P. On the 7th October, 1927,Lord Iveagh passed to his rest, after a short illness. He had been a member of the SuffolkInstitute of Archxologyfor over twenty years. His generousand wisemunifi- cencein England and Ireland in the cause of education, the better housingof the poor and medicalresearchwill be long remembered. His bequest to the nation ofhis houseat Ken Woodand his magnifi- cent collection of pictures is also well known. His large estate in Suffolk,comprisingthe parishes of Elveden, Eriswell and Icklingham is considereda model one from an agri- cultural and sporting point of view. The hall at Elveden was partly rebuilt and restored by him in the early part of this century, and the celebratedMarbleHall, the details of which weremodelled from examples of ancient Indian art, was completed in 1903. In 1901under the guidance of the Societyfor the Protection of Ancient Buildings,Lord Iveagh re-roofedand restored the church of All Saint's, Icklingham,whichhas many treasures of antiquarian interest. He also restored and re-roofedthe old church of St. Andrew at Elveden and built on a nave, chancel and organ chamber ; using the old church as the South Aisle and a private chapel ; this was consecratedin October, 1906,by'BishopChaseof Ely and dedicated to St. Andrew and St. Patrick ; W. D. Caroe, F.S.A.,F.R.I.A.,was the architect. Later the tall campanilewith peal of ten bells, and the cloisterswere added in memory of Lady Iveagh. The War Memorialto the men of Elveden, Eriswelland Ickling- ham standing at the junction of the three parishes; was erected largely through his generosity; it is a Corinthian column about 120-ft.high on a tall base, surmounted by an urn ; it is visiblefor many miles.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape And, Especially, Language(S) of Your Chosen Area
    Examine the value of place-names as evidence for the history, landscape and, especially, language(s) of your chosen area Ruut Korpinen Introduction The material studied here (see Appendix I) comprises 41 parish-names from the north-east corner of the historic county of Suffolk. The area is roughly bordered by the River Waveney in the north and west, the River Blyth in the south and the North Sea in the east (see Appendix II). The following discussion examines what the place-names reveal about the area and its British, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Norman past. The first section focuses on people and languages, and the second takes a look at the landscape and culture. People and languages The Britons and the Romans The Britons who inhabited the country before the Anglo-Saxons arrived have left no certain signs of themselves in the present-day place-names of Suffolk (Briggs and Kilpatrick 2016: xi). Nevertheless, the corpus contains two names which possibly stem from their language. Beccles may be wholly Brittonic in origin, comprising *bacc ‘small’ + *liss ‘court’ (Coates and Breeze 2000: 335). If so, the name suggests an ancient British settlement and has perhaps survived as a toponym for an important centre of power. By the time of Domesday Book, at least, Beccles had developed into the major town of north- east Suffolk (Wade and Dymond 1999). Another potential Brittonic name is Ellough, the etymology of which is unclear. Many scholars have interpreted it as a derivative of Old English (OE) ealh or Old Norse (ON) elgr ‘heathen temple’, but these interpretations are questionable.

  • The Reduced Population and Wealth of Early Fifteenth
    THE REDUCED POPULATION AND WEALTH OF EARLY FIFTEENTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK by DAVID DYMOND, M.A., F.S.A. and ROGER VIRGOE, PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IN THE SESSION of Parliament which met between 27 January and 25 March 1428, the Council governing England during Henry VI's minority asked for subsidies to pay for the continuing war in France and for the safe-keeping of the sea. In response the Commons made three grants.' The first was of tunnage and poundage for a year; the second a grant of 6s. 8d. per knight' s fee, a traditional and by now obsolescent feudal aid; the third was a novel, if not quite unprecedented, tax levied on parishes and not, like the normal fifteenth and tenth, on townships.' The last of these grants is the most interesting. Payment had to be made by each rural parish which had ten households or more. If the living of the church was assessed for clerical taxes at less than ten marks, householders were to pay half a mark (6s. 8d.); if it was assessed at ten marks or more, they were to pay at the rate of one mark (13s. 4d.) for each ten marks' valuation. In boroughs the householders of each parish were to pay at the rate of 2s. for every £1 in the valuation of the living. Those parishes which contained fewer than ten households were exempt from payment. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for this peculiar hybrid tax, which was not repeated.' For the local historian the most interesting information in the returns is the listing of exempt parishes with small populations.
