WINGFIELD, (Suffolk) on the N. side of Stradbrock, bel. anciently to a family who took their name from it, and had a seat
before the Norman Conquest, in that called Wingfield-Castle, now in ruins, which, however, denote its ancient grandeur. It
was a college, or chantry, which has for some ages been vested in the family of Catalyne, and at present remains to the
lady of Sir Charles Turner, Bt. (the relict of Sir Nevil Catalyne, Bt.) after whose death it descends to Thomas Leman of
Wenhaston. In 1708, a ch. sc. was opened here for 34 boys.
