The Best Attractions In Woodbridge

  • 1. Sutton Hoo Woodbridge
    Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, is the site of two 6th- and early 7th-century cemeteries.

Swithhelm, son of Seaxbald, who reigned from 660 to around 664, was baptised at Rendlesham by Saint Cedd with King Aethelwald of East Anglia acting as his godfather. He died around the time of the great plague of 664 and may have been buried at the palace of Rendlesham. Its name is recorded in Old English about 730 AD as Rendlæsham, which may mean Homestead belonging to [a man named] Rendel, or it may come from a theorized Old English word *rendel = little shore. It was also the location of Rendles...
