1. Ixworth’s History!
Created by Lily Mayhew!

2. Ixworth in 1625 Lincolne Lane is now Crown Lane!
The earliest known map of Ixworth was created in 1625 to show the land holdings of the Lord of the Manor John Carill Esq. That map was then copied by hand in The 1834 version was deteriorating when, in the 1970s, a local photographer recorded it. That record, in the form of a pair of large black-and-white prints is available to see at the Suffolk Record Office in Bury St Edmunds (reference no 1991). The quality of the print is not enough to be able to read the smallest details (mostly the names of individual tenants on the land) but it still gives a fascinating insight into early Ixworth. A sketch of the central part of the village as seen in 1625 is reproduced here. The main features of the village are still clear to see (the main streets, Dairy Farm, the Abbey, Cross House etc.) but there are changes and intriguing features.

4. Ixworth’s History What it was?
Ixworth was settled in Roman times and was the site of a 1st-century AD Roman fort. The fort is believed to have been built as a response to Boudicca's revolt and appears to have been in use only until the end of the 1st century. The site measures 193 metres (633 ft) by 205 metres (673 ft) and was surrounded by three ditches.
