Dallinghoo
Dallinghoo is a village and civil parish about three miles (5 km) north of Woodbridge, East Suffolk, Suffolk, England. In 2011 the parish had a population of 171.
History
On 1 April 1985, the separate parish of Dallinghoo Wield (which covered just 38 acres and was uninhabited) was merged with Dallinghoo parish. Prior to merger, Dallinghoo Wield was claimed to be the smallest civil parish in England.[2]
Location
Dallinghoo is formed from Church Road to the west, Pound Hill to the south and branches northeast after the centre of the village. Dallinghoo Village Hall is on Church Road near its junction with Pound Hill, a little north of the village at 52°08′47″N 1°18′45″E / 52.1464°N 1.3124°E / 52.1464; 1.3124.
Buildings
Dallinghoo's church was originally a large building with a central tower but the chancel has since been destroyed.[3] The Church also had connections with nearby Letheringham Abbey.
People
Dallinghoo is the birthplace of Francis Light, founder of Penang in Malaysia and father of William Light, the founder of Adelaide in Australia.[4]
Press
Dallinghoo was featured in the press in 2009 after £500,000 worth of Iceni gold coins were found in a field.[5]
