Tuddenham St. Martin Parish

Tuddenham St. Martin Tudenham, Or Tothenham

Hugh de Hosdene, and Maud his wife, gave to the Prior and Convent of Cluniac Monks, in Thetford, founded by Roger Bigod, Earl of the East Angles, and Alice his wife, all their tithes in this parish; and Kirby says, that Anketil de Messange, and others, gave the church to Trinity, or Christ Church Priory, in Ipswich, to which house he is named as a benefactor before 1204.

In 1437, Sir John Clifton, of Buckenham Castle, Knt., surrendered this manor to Master Thomas Well, and his assigns, it having been long in contest between them. It was for many years in the family of Minter: in 1764, Mr. William Minter was owner thereof. It is now vested in John Wrattislaw, Esq.

The rectory and advowson of this vicarage was lately in the Rev. William Charles Fonnereau, of Christ Church, in Ipswich r who sold them to the Rev. William Burgess, of Colchester, who is now the patron.
