Barsham is a village and civil parish in the Waveney district of Suffolk, England, with a population of 218 (2001 census). It is about two miles west of Beccles, and is on the edge of The Broads. Barsham Holy Trinity is one of 38 existing round-tower churches in Suffolk. Horatio Nelson's mother Catherine Suckling was born in the former Rectory on 9 May, 1725. She was always with him, despite her death when he was just nine years old - "The thought of former days brings all my mother to my heart, which shows itself in my eyes," he later recorded. The house is near the Beccles-Bungay Road, close to the church, which has a stained glass window commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar. Source: Wiki
