Background
History
Bressingham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as consisting of 47 households, which placed it in the largest 20% of settlements. At this time, Bressingham was divided between the land of William the Conqueror (2 acres of meadow, 6 pigs and woodland) and Bury St Edmunds Abbey (16 acres of meadow, 26 pigs and woodland). From 1804, Bressingham had a thriving Amicable Society with upwards of 30 members agreeing to a rudimentary form of life insurance. The society conducted its meetings in the Chequers pub. A Methodist chapel was built in Bressingham in 1900.
