Willingham St Mary

Willingham St Mary, also known simply as Willingham, is a village and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk located about 3.5 miles (6 km) south of Beccles in the East Suffolk district.

At the Domesday survey of 1086, the village of Willingaham formed part of the estates of Hugh de Montfort.

[17][18] The church, which was dedicated to St Mary and existed at the time of the Domesday survey, was recorded as "scarcely visible" by Suckling in 1846, although some remains could be seen in the 1920s.

[2] The area around the hall and church are considered to be a possible site for a deserted medieval village.

A number of ditches and pottery finds indicate buildings were located in this area and settlement is shown on a map from the late 18th century.
