A short history of Helmingham Church! Rectors of Helmingham are recorded from as far back as AD 1307. The advowson of the church was granted to the priory of Flixton by Geoffery de Creke in 1267. The flint tower was commissioned by John Tollemache in 1490 to celebrate his marriage to Elizabeth Joyce. The tower is a fine example of the perpendicular style. Thomas Aldrych, The master mason of North Lopham in Norfolk, carried out the work for the sum of £30. The Tollemache Coat of Arms can be seen both inside and outsided the church. The 15th century font is buttressed by lions sejant standing on human heads. The oldest part of the present building is the North Door, now not used, which is in early English style, and can be dated anywhere between AD1190 and 1300. The glorious peals of eight bells cast by Thomas Mears of london, was presented by Wilbraham Tollemache, 6th Earl of Dysart and High Steward of Ipswich in 1816 One hundred and thirty -five bell ringers attended and afterwards 'partook of an excellent dinner provided by the Earl. The church is filled with beautiful and magnificent memorials to various generations of the Tollemache family who own nearby Helmingham Hall. These were cleaned and reovated in 1976 in memory of John, the fourth Baron Tollemache, who died in 1975. Therre are also two monuments by the famous sculptor Nollekens (1737-1823). Repairs to the tower parapet and associated masonry were completed at the cost of £175.000. largely funded by English Heritage (£120.000) and the Suffolk Historic Churched Trust. The Flag Wizard fitted the new glassfibre flagpole to the church tower and will be there for many a year. To see The Flag Wizard website for this type of construction go to http://www.theflagwizard.com/church_flags.php . and http://www.theflagwizard.com/bespoke_flags.php for any custom flag made by The Flag Wizard. We are glad to be associated with Helmingham church for this project.
