Monument record CDD 071 - OUTLINE RECORD: Medieval pottery and post-medieval windmills at Ivy Farmhouse, Coddenham - EXC (SAFG)

2010: Fieldwork was carried out in an attempt to confirm the owner’s research indicating that this was the site of Knights Hospitallers’ manor of St John. Pottery from several test trenches around the 17th-century house confirmed medieval occupation. A secondary excavation took place on the site of two former windmills, looking for evidence of the Hospitallers’ own mill, known to have stood on their manor in 1338. Although the remains of 18th- and 19th-century mills were exposed, nothing of medieval date was found. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S1). Full report to follow.
