HOXNE HUNDRED
IS in the eastern division of Suffolk, in the Deanery of Hoxne, Archdeaconry of
Suffolk, and Diocese of Norwich. It has two detached parishes (Carlton and
Kelsale) in Blything Union, and its other 24 parishes form Hoxne Union, and
constitute a fertile district, averaging about nine miles in length and breadth;
bounded, on the north, by the river Waveney, which separates it from Norfolk; on
the east by Wangford and Blything Hundreds; on the south, by Plomesgate, Loes,
and Thredling Hundreds; and on the west by Hartismere Hundred. It is watered by
several rivulets, flowing northward to the Waveney; and on its southern side are
the sources of the river Aide, and near Laxfield the chief source of the Blythe.
It has generally a strong loamy soil, well cultivated, and rising in picturesque
undulations, but subsiding in a champaign tract, in the vale of the Waveney. It
has only one small market town (Stradbroke), but those or Framlingham,
Saxmuudham, Eye, and Harleston, are near its borders; and it has within its
limits several large villages. The following enumeration of its 20 parishes
shews their territorial extent, and their population in 1851. The high
constables are Mr. Alfred Bead, of Syleham, and Mr. Joseph Blomfield, of
Badingham.
