Bucklesham
Bucklesham is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, a few miles east of Ipswich.
History
Bucklesham is derived from the old English meaning Buccel's homestead or village.[2] The village is recorded in the Domesday Book with a population in 1086 of 36 households made up of 32 freeholders and 4 small holders.[3]
The village gave its name to HMS Bucklesham, a Ham-class minesweeper. The bell off of HMS Bucklesham can be found inside the village primary school.
Facilities
The village has a school, a church, a village hall (shared with the neighbouring Foxhall), houses and the pub is named The Shannon after Rear Admiral Philip Broke's ship HMS Shannon (1806).[4] A small cottage – Shell Cottage – near St Mary's church was the old school, and the names of the children can still be found written on the walls. The newer school has 15 students per year group, and about 100 students in all. The village playing field is used by the children and the football team. The field has swings, an obstacle course and some basic gym equipment.
