Full Description

Sogenhoe (or Suggenham) Chapel (site of) - 1310-1527. Kirby mentions a moated area to the west (see Ufford Castle) (R1) (R2). Named by OS on 1: 10560 map, provisional edition, missing from 1: 10000, 1983. Marked by Bowen as in ruins in 1755 (S1), although a Terrier dated 26 October 1613 describes the site as `a piece of land lyinge in the chappell field whereon it is supposed a Chappell hadd once stode...'.
For location see (S2)(R3)(R4)(R5).
For present condition see (S3).

The chapel was extant in 1291, and possibly earlier, since it appears in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas IV under Bredfield, Ufford, Grundisburgh, and Easton. (S4)

2022: Geophysical Survey identified the chapel enclosure, but the actual chapel appears to be obscured by interference from a metal fence (see images in folder, awaiting report).uu
