STRADBROKE PARISH

Introduction

Stradbroke is an English village in the Mid Suffolk district of the county of Suffolk. The Census of 2011 gave the parish a population of 1,408, with an estimate of 1,513 in 2018. The village was listed in the Domesday Book of 1096 as being in the Bishop's Hundred, later renamed Hoxne Hundred. A post-medieval source states that the prominent medieval philosopher Robert Grosseteste, also Bishop of Lincoln, was born in Stradbroke in about 1175, but there is no medieval evidence to confirm this. Its parish church of All Saints, with a 15th-century tower and a raised stair turret, dominates the village as a landmark. In October 2014 the state primary school marked the 150th anniversary of its predecessor's opening on 28 September 1864. The village used to host a Navy Day on the last Saturday in July, to mourn the end of the Royal Navy's rum ration in July 1970. as part of the celebration a tot of rum was processed round the village. The last such event was held in 2007.
