Brampton St Peter

 

The Parish

The 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.


The Church

St Peter's church stands a half mile south of the village and sits on what must be described as a rather hazardous right-angled bend of the A145. Lancet windows and "Y" tracery within the chancel give a hint of a 13th century origin but little remains of that period. The bulk of the church including its stately western tower date from the Perpendicular era. The excellent use of flint flushwork shows a level of craftsmanship above the norm for a standard parish church. The church, like so many, was extensively restored during the 19th century and that work has masked much dating evidence. Sitting on its corner in a sloping site the main entrance with steps rising to the church, rather alarmingly, is right by that corner and opposite the lane leading to Brampton Street, it must surely present a hazard for bridal cars and hearses, better still to pull in on the Blythburgh side where there is room to get most of the way off the busy road and access the churchyard which is open and with few obstructions to photography.
