"Christopher Baret was sheriff in 1615 and mayor in 1634, and was chosen deputy mayor in 1647, when John Utting was imprisoned for his Royalist sympathies. He (Christopher) was born in 1562 and was the son of William Baret of Westhall, Suffolk, by his second wife, Margaret Pettishaw. By trade he was a grocer, having been apprenticed by his stepfather in London. He acquired Suckling House from John Suckling in 1595, and he lived there for several years. Norris records that on the porch of this house were initials C B and the date 1634. He married at St Peter Mancroft (Norwich), Elizabeth, daughter of Allen Clark of Hemmingstone, Lincolnshire. He died "very ancient" in 1649 and his wife in 1660-1, and they were both buried in St Andrews (Norwich)".
