Old Saint Johns

St John's Church Saxmundham

The name "Saxmundham" allegedly derives from the Saxon "Seizmond's Home". The earliest recorded mention of Saxmundham is in the Domesday Book of 1086 which mentions three churches. It has had a market charter since at least 1272 AD and carries on the tradition to this day. NBA basketball player and star of Spike Lee's film 'He Got Game' Ray Allen spent some of his childhood in Saxmundham.
