History
Barsham Holy Trinity[4] is one of around 40 round-tower churches in SuffolkШаблон:Efn and a Grade I listed building.[5] The manor and advowson were of old in the de Tye family, but during the early 15th century they passed into the Echyngham family, whose principal seat was at Etchingham in Sussex. This arose through the marriages of Margaret Knyvet of Mendlesham (granddaughter of John Knyvet the Lord Chancellor), who married first Robert de Tye (died 1415) (whose brass is in Barsham church), secondly Sir Thomas Marney of Layer Marney in Essex (died 1421), and lastly Sir Thomas Echyngham (died 1444) (whose brass is at Etchingham in Sussex). Margaret outlived them all. Her great-grandson, Sir Edward Echyngham of Barsham, was a notable sea captain in the navy of King Henry VIII, and Sir Edward's son Osborne Ichyngham became Marshal of Ireland, though remembering Barsham in his will.[6][7] The east wall of Barsham church shows unusual flushwork and tracery of diaper or fret ornament, probably representing the Echyngham heraldic coat of azure fretty argent.
Mary Echyngham, Sir Edward's younger daughter, married John Blennerhasset and they lived at Barsham Hall, on the edge of the Waveney meadows below the church, and rebuilt or remodelled it. John's son Thomas Blennerhasset inherited it in 1573 and in 1598 sold it, together with all the other very extensive rights, lands and messuages in many surrounding parishes, to Sir Robert Lee (who became Lord Mayor of London in 1602), for £3,600. Sir Robert died in 1605 having settled Barsham manor on his son (Sir) John Lee, then in his minority. In 1623 Sir John Lee sold the same premises for an undisclosed sum to Sir John Suckling, Comptroller of the Household, who had acquired the neighbouring estate of Roos Hall as his residence in 1600. From his time Barsham descended in the Suckling family.[8]
Horatio Nelson's mother Catherine Suckling was born in the former rectory on 9 May 1725.[9] She was important to him, despite her death when he was just nine years old — "the thought of former days brings all my mother to my heart, which shows itself in my eyes," he later recorded. The house is near the main road, close to the church, which has a stained glass window commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar.
Between 1972 and 1976, Barsham was the site of Barsham Faire.[10]
