Background
History
The name Kesgrave is thought to derive from the Old English cærsegræf or cærsegrǣfe meaning 'cress pit' or 'cress grove'. The area was recorded as Gressgrava in the Domesday Book, by the late 15th century its name had become Kesgrave. Kesgrave remained a small agricultural settlement with just a church, inn and a few farmsteads for over 700 years. In 1921 the population was only 103 housed in 20 dwellings. Since then great changes have taken place. By 1988 Kesgrave covered an area of more than 800 acre. Kesgrave parish council officially adopted the title of a town in January 2000.
