History

During the Roman occupation of Britain, Coddenham was the largest settlement in Suffolk.[3] There were two Roman forts at the site at Baylham House, which was known as Combretovium. The Roman road from Colchester (then Camulodunum) to Caistor St Edmund (then Venta Icenorum) in Norfolk ran through the town.

The place-name 'Coddenham' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Codenham. The name means 'Codda's homestead'.[4]

The village was struck by an F1/T3 tornado on 23 November 1981, as part of the record-breaking nationwide tornado outbreak on that day.[5]

Notable people

The motocross racer Dave Bickers was from Coddenham.

The astronomer and author Tom Boles lives in Coddenham.
