Beccles. An ancient market town and polling place, on the borders of Norfolk, 109 miles from London, 40 N.E. of Ipswich, 14 S.W. of Yarmouth, and 5 E. of Bungay, in the hundred of Wangford, and Norwich bishopric. The area is 1,952 acres, including marsh and common land; and the population, in 1851, was 4,398. It is situated on the river Waveney, navigable for vessels of 100 tons burden to Yarmouth and Lowestoft, and by which a considerable trade is carried on. Here are breweries and iron foundries. The town is large and well built, consisting of several streets, joining in a market-place; and is lighted with gas. The market is held on Friday. Beccles is a polling-place for East Suffolk. Quartersessions are held here for the Geldable district of Suffolk; the quarter and petty sessions are holden in the Town Hall.
The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is in the Gothic style of architecture, and stands in the New Market. It was erected about 1369, and consists of a nave, chancel, north and south aisles, north and south porches, and tower. The tower is considered a fine specimen of florid Gothic, and presents a singular appearance from its being detached, and placed a short distance from the south-eastern angle of the church. It was built about 1515, is 92 feet high, but unfinished, probably owing to the dissolution of Bury Abbey, and contains a fine peal of 10 bells. The Rev. J. T. Johnston, B.A., is the present incumbent, and the Rev. C. Langham is the curate. The living is a rectory, value £370 per annum, in the patronage of the Rev. E. Hollond, Benhall Lodge. H. S. Farr, Esq., is lord of the manor. There are chapels for Independents, Baptists, Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists. The charity funds amount to £250 a year. Here is a House of Correction, which will hold 30 prisoners. Also National, British, and Infant Schools.
