The ParishThe parish of Great Bealings lies in southeastern Suffolk about 2 miles west of the port of Woodbridge. Great Bealings is a rather dispersed settlement with no real village centre which sits, in lanes, around a mile south of the B1079 road which connects Woodbridge with Debenham. Great Bealings sits on the northern banks of the River Fynn, a feeder for the Deben Estuary, its neighbour Little Bealings sits on the opposite banks. Like many in Suffolk Great Bealings was a farming community, the riverine setting providing some variation from the usual arable cultivation by providing rich pastures on its floodplain. The Fynn drains the parish eastwards the short distance to Woodbridge and the Deben estuary, thence to the North Sea. Great Bealings is sited at between 5 and 20 metres above the sea, the area around the church being slightly higher; the landscape is gently rolling with local heights rising to around 40 metres with a few miles. Great Bealings parish was small, as are many in this area, it covered just under 1,000 acres and would have supported a population of around 350 parishioners. In Domesday times Great Bealings was held chiefly by one Hervey de Bourges, a small place of just 4 ploughs and a small meadow. |
