Bedingham
​
Bedingham is one of our nearest neighbours. Since 1894, the Bedingham electors have governed themselves through a Parish Meeting. Parish Meetings are the only example of direct democracy in the UK, something Bedingham jealously guards. All electors are entitled and welcome to attend the twice-yearly meetings and decide such matters as the precept and the rent of the ‘Parish Piece’ (about 2 acres of grazing available to let every spring, not restricted to Bedingham residents.
