BEESTON ST. ANDREW.
Beeston St. Andrew is a very small village in Taverham hundred, East Norfolk, 3½ miles N. of Norwich, containing three farms and a few cottages. The “‘Old Hall” was built in 1610, and is still standing. The chief part of the land belongs to N. Micklethwaite and O. Barnes, Esquires. Sir Thomas B. Leonard, Bart., is lord of the manor. There is no church, but a sinecure rectory, in the patronage of the Rev. Henry Banfather, who is also the incumbent. The population in 1851 was 41.
