Bing Hamlet

Bing

In the time of King Edward I., Sir John de Huntingfield held this lordship; and in the 14th of that reign, a claim was made of a right to hold a market here every Thursday.

It was afterwards granted to the Prior and Convent at Campsey, with the impropriation of this parish church; and at the dissolution of that Monastery, became the inheritance of Sir Anthony Wingfield, as parcel of the possession of the said Priory. It is now reduced to a small hamlet, united with the parish of Pettistree.
