VG. ** "William Carter Pearson was born at Mundesley, Norfolk, on 11th February 1859, eldest child of Rev. Henry Pearson: vicar of Henley, Suffolk: and his wife Adelaide Catherine (née Carter). He was educated at Bury St. Edmunds Grammar School and Clare College, Cambridge, ordained deacon at Peterborough Cathedral on 4th June 1882, and priest also at Peterborough on 21st December 1884. His first posting was to a curacy at Syston near Leicester.He may have learned to ring as a boy at Henley, where there was a ring of five at that time, or at school in Bury St. Edmunds; we can find no evidence. He certainly was, or became, an enthusiastic and competent change ringer during his Cambridge days. He was instrumental in founding the Clare Society of Ringers in February 1879, which was to become the Cambridge University Guild of Change Ringers later in the same year, under the presidency of Rev. A. H. F. Boughey.His father, Henry, died early in 1894, and William was successful in being appointed to take over the living later that year. He was remain vicar of Henley for the rest of his life. In 1902 he had the bells augmented to eight.Like Rev. F. E. Robinson, William Pearson went on to become one of the few ringing parsons to ring over 100 peals on their own church bells. In all, William rang about 250 peals in a wide variety of methods; he was clearly a very keen and able ringer, though not a heavy bell man – he usually rang no. 2! He rang many peals with the great Suffolk ringers of the day, such as Charles Sedgeley and George Symonds.William was an avid collector of old books about bells and change ringing, and became very knowledgeable about antiquarian ringing books. He never married, and had no recorded children." - See.

The church is Grade I listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest. The church is medieval and the chancel is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the most exciting pieces of architecture in the country." On the north side of the chancel is a medieval Easter Sepulchre. Opposite on the south side is the sedilia. The carvings on these two features are considered amongst the best in England. The carvings in the chancel are thought to be the work of stonemasons who worked on the choir screen and Chapter House in Southwell Minster." - See Wikipedia.
