BRUISYARD, a parish in the hundred of PLOMESGATE,
county of SUFFOLK, 3 miles ($1. E. by E.) from
Framlingham, containing 269 inhabitants. The living

and diocese of Norwich, endowed with £1000 royal
bounty, and in the patronage of the Earl of Stradbroke.

which the establishment was removed to Bruisyard:
the site and possessions, in 1366, were surrendered to
an abbess and nuns of the order of St. Clare, who continued
here until the general suppression, when their
revenue was estimated at £56. 2. 1.
