The ParishThe parish of Brampton lies in northeastern Suffolk about 3 miles northeast of the market town of Halesworth. Brampton is a small crossroads village sitting on the A145 road which connects Beccles with the A12 at Blythburgh, a secondary settlement, Brampton Street, lies just to the west. The village sits in a broad plain dominated by arable fields, a scene that would have had more pastures at the time of this transcript. The rather flat landscape is largely drained by man-made field drains into small tributaries of the River Wang which heads southeastwards to join the estuary of the Blyth and the North Sea. Brampton is sited at around 30 metres above the sea and the height varies little more than 10 metres up or down for many miles. Brampton parish was fairly typically sized for Suffolk, it covered almost exactly 2,000 acres and would have supported a population of around 300 parishioners. In Domesday times Brampton was shared 3 ways, the King retained some meadows and woodland whilst the bulk, of 17 ploughs plus more meadows & woodland, was shared between Roger Bigot & Ralph Baynard. |
