SITUATION: Haughley is about 2 miles (3.2 km) miles northwest of ,[2] overlooking the River Rat and the Gipping valley, next to the A14 corridor.

The parish anciently divided into the four divisions of Haughley Green, Old Street, New Street and Tothill,[3] with a population of 1638 at 2011.[1] The original 120 acres of Haughley Green, north of the main village, were enclosed in 1854 and dissected by the main railway line from London Liverpool Street to Peterborough.

The village has evidence of neolithic, pagan, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon settlements[4][5] and was first mentioned (as Hag'e'le) in the will of Leofgifu, a Saxon noblewoman, in 1040.[6] Leofgifu bequeathed Haughley to her only daughter who may eventually have become the wife of Guthmund, the holder of Haughley in 1066 (Guthmund was the brother of Wulfric, 'a kinsman' of , appointed Bishop of Ely c. 1052-63).[7] Haughley is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 as Hagala being held by Hugh de Montfort, having formerly been held by the Saxon lord Guthmund for Edward.[4]

A medieval market town and site of a royal fortress, Haughley prospered till the Tudor period then went into decline further compounded by a fire in the early 1700s at which it is said[citation needed] “out of the ashes of Haughley, Stowmarket arose”.

Through the Victorian period to the present day the village has grown and was connected to water and sewerage with the addition of local authority housing at the instigation of the infamous and controversial Rev Walter Grainge White in the 1920s following the description of Haughley and its open sewers by the Daily Mail in 1928 as “the fever pit of the kingdom” With front door leading to...
