NHER 10212 (Building record) - St Andrew's Church, Bedingham

Round tower, 13th century church of at least two periods, 14th century south chapel, 15th century clerestory and belfry (see (S1)) - not yet visited. 15th century bellframe, says vicar.
(S2) notes a St Mary's church in the same churchyard in the sixth year of the reign of Richard I. [1] in church guidebook claims that foundations remain.
Churchyard survey in file - east churchyard wall of Tudor brick.
Gateway narrowed in 18th century to stop the lord of the manor driving his coach in.
[2] notes bequests for a bell 1513, for repairs 1518 - 1520, for a bench 1530.
Organ was made for private house 1864, rebuilt 1869, installed in church 1884.
The bellframe is derelict but the bells are medieval, one made at Redgrave informant [3] who adds (1993) that the ring is of five for changeringing, and in 19th century a complete peal of 6000 changes was rung, an unequalled feat. Three of them are by John Aleyn, John Brend I and John Goldsmith; the treble was recast in 1842 when part of the frame was dismantled. There are round headed windows in the tower, and brick pilasters and arches - the date of the latter not stated. See (S5).
