The village is situated on the river Deben, which occasionally inundates the adjoining lands. The parish includes the hamlet of Sogenhoe. The living is a rectory* in the diocese of Norwich, value £376. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, contains a brass of R. Ballett, bearing date 1598, an ancient font with a cover, and tombs of the Woods of Loudham. There was anciently a chapel-of-ease at Sogenhoe, but long since demolished. There are some small charities and a school supported by the rector. The Earls of Suffolk took their names from this place."
