BAWSEY is a decayed parish, 2~ miles E. by N. of Lynn, in Freebridge Lynn union, hundred, and petty sessional divi!tion, Lynn county court district, bankruptcy district, and rural deanery, and Norwich arcbdoaconry. It bad 70 inhabitants in 1881, living in 12 houses, on 1,090 abres. The parish includes about 300 acres of sandy heath, forming an ancient rabbit warren, in which great quantities of grey sand are got, and sent to the glass houses in various parts of the kingdom. For every cart-load of this sand, 1s. 6d. is paid to the lord of the manor, A. Hamond, Esq., who owns most of the soil." Sir W. H .. Ffolkes, Bart., has 160 acres of land here. There is only one farm, occupied by Mr. J. A.. Bradfield, in whose possession is the church Bible (in very good preservation) printed in Old English and published in 1617. Gayton Road station, on the Eastern and l\iidlands Line, is in this parish. Tbe CHURCH has been a roofless ruin for more than a century, and appears to have originally consisted of nave, chancel, bold central tower, and south transept, but the latter has entirely disappeared. It is mostly of Norman archHecture, but Decorated windows have been inserted in the chancel, and buttress~ appear to have been added at the same period. The. windows of the tower ate good specimens of the Norman style, being of two lights, separated by the usual small column, under one semicircular arch. Traces of the piscina, sedilia, and aumbry may still be seen in the chancel. The register, a. small octavo volume of parchment, which commences in 1539 and ends in 1773, and the communion plate, on the chalice of which is pricked "For the Town of Bawsey," are at present (1890) in the possession of the M2
