In history, as in life, truth is everything.
About Pettaugh
Pettaugh, pronounced ‘Petta’ by local people, is a small Suffolk village in the eastern part of the county, about 10 miles north of Ipswich. The houses and farms are stretched out in a ribbon-like fashion along two roads, one linking Coddenham and Debenham and the A1120 linking Stowmarket and Yoxford.
The History
Pettaugh, which is mentioned in the Domesday book, is situated beside a Roman road which runs from the river crossing near Ipswich towards the east coast and Dunwich.
Welcome to Pettaugh History.
Pettaugh History Society was set up in 2009 by Dr. Hilary Marlow and Richard Clark, initially as a ‘vehicle’ to help publish their first book ‘Pettaugh Preserved’.
A constitution and committee was set up in April 2009 with the intention of carrying out further research into the history of the village and surroundings.
Membership is now open to all and we hold regular meetings and talks of local interest.
The next meeting will take place on Wednesday 22nd September at Winston School Room.
7.30 (tea/coffee) for 8pm start.
Subject:- Pettaugh School & Annual General Meeting.
A presentation on Pettaugh School followed by a discussion and anecdotes from members of the society who lived in the village and attended the school.
If previous sessions are anything to go by it promises to be a lively and interesting session.
The presentation will be preceded by a very short society AGM.
