Beyton is a village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. The village is around 8 miles (13 km) east of Bury St Edmunds, 2 miles (3.2 km) south-east of Thurston and 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Stowmarket. The main Ipswich to Bury St Edmunds road used to pass through the village – the modern A14 dual carriageway bypasses the village to the north.[1]
History
According to Eilert Ekwall the meaning of the name is homestead by brook or Beaga's homestead.[citation needed] The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Begoton or Begatona.[2] The Domesday village was held by Hugh de Montfort and was a very small settlement with a taxable value of just 0.3 geld units.[3]
The village was a farming community located on the glacial clay of 'High' Suffolk.[4] It grew up around the village green and the along the main Ipswich to Bury St Edmunds road. The road was turnpiked in 1711 and became an accident 'black spot' in modern times. The village having been bypassed in 1978 with the modern A14 running to the north of the village.[4] A maltings was present in the village in 1855 and a post mill, which had originally been located at Wickhambrook, was moved to the village in 1830. A conservation area was established in the village in 1973.[4]
Government
Benton parish forms part of the Mid Suffolk district. The parish council made headlines in 2015 after members of the public were involved in a dispute whilst one was attempting to film a council meeting.[5] The council had voted to increase the population of Emden geese on the village green in 2013[6][7] and the dispute was "caused by 'a small minority' of people who oppose(d) the re-introduction"[5] and followed the filming of parish council meetings in 2014.[5][8][9][10][11]
The issue of geese has caused some controversy in Beyton, although 75% of the village voted in favour of reintroducing them and around 25 individuals were prepared to sponsor the purchase of geese in 2013.[7] Geese have inhabited the village green for many years and are seen by some as a symbol for the village.[7][12] The dispute, and specifically the filming of meetings, led to the resignation of a number of parish council members.[8][9][13]
All Saints church
The parish church, All Saints, is a Grade II* listed building.[14] It is one of 38 existing round-tower churches in Suffolk. The church tower is believed to be Saxon in origin, although the present tower has been dated to the 13th century.[1][14] The building was heavily restored in the 19th century.[1][14] The church is not mentioned in the Domesday Book entry for the village.[4]
Education
Beyton Middle School enrolled about 700 pupils from age 9 to 13 with the majority of students coming from surrounding villages. The school closed in July 2014 as part of a reorganisation of schools to a two tier structure by Suffolk County Council that saw students stay in primary school to age 11 where they would then transfer on to secondary schools, mostly Thurston Community College, Stowupland High School or County Upper School in Bury St Edmunds. The site is now used by Thurston Community College as part of its sixth form provision.
