A rude and lofty watch-tower occupied the site; which commanding a seaward view of the turbulent
estuary, blazed forth the fearful notice of invasion to a beacon placed on the peninsula at Bungay. This in
turn communicated with a third at Homersfield . . .
The watch tower at Beccles was probably defended by a ditch and rampart of earth; and the protection
these afforded to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood in times of peril and alarm gradually drew together
a few simple habitations, which the security of the place, and its advantageous position for the herring-
fishery, rapidly increased in numbers and importance.
[Suckling quotes from a MSS “Jermyn” in the Brit. Mus., which is also no doubt speculative!]
Near to Sir John Leman Free School there is a dip in the road, still considerable, but no doubt much less
abrupt than it formerly was, and which may possibly mark the situation of the Anglo-Saxon outwork.
The same depression in the surface may be faintly traced through the premises occupied as a farmyard &
the grounds at the back of Mr Crowfoot’s house late Mrs Stone’s (afterwards Mr Jeck’s) [1997 The Old
Rectory].
Taking a general direction within Hungate Lane, it may have crossed just within Sheepgate & following
the course of or parallel to Smallgate joined the Old Market.
That site may itself have formed a portion of the entrenchment - which would again meet the level of the
river or estuary near the approach from the river called the Score.
Within this supposed outwork would be another, more closely investing the beacon itself, with, possibly
any intermediate foss and bank enclosing what is now represented, generally, by the area of the
Newmarket & the site of the buildings on its south side.
the old Saxon inhabitants as part of the fortifications.
There is a rise in the surface observable in the lane across the Newmarket opposite Market Street
(formerly Blowers Lane) which may have been the position of the beacon. The lane running eastward from
it would seem to favour this idea.
Ibid page 99
If the area of Newmarket formed the outer bailey, the beacon would have stood on the west of the
Newmarket not far from the White Horse or Mr Stacy’s (Parkhouse’s) [no 37 Newmarket]
Or
behind the house now Kerridge’s late John Bird’s. Mr Oldring, a former owner, once proposed to build a
Tower Mill on the Cliff behind that house & to reach it by the sloping road from Puddingmoor. [no 2
Ballygate]
Directly opposite Market Street & on the north side of Mr Masters’ (late Baker’s) [no 12 Newmarket]
house there is a remarkable rise in the surface - may be a possible place for the beacon.
COUNCIL; ordered steps in Stepping Hill to be relaid & improved, and rail added.
COUNCIL: Parapet opposite house occupied by Miss Crowfoot in Ballygate to be repaired.
COUNCIL: Six Trees from the plantation near the Avenue should be planted on the EAST side of
