Introduction
Foxhall is a spread-out parish with no obvious core settlement, though probably most of its population live along the Bucklesham Road. Most people either pass through it on the main road or railway line between Ipswich and Felixstowe, or if they stop it's probably either at the speedway stadium or Trinity Park (formerly the Suffolk Showground). There is a fair amount of heathland in the parish, which was recorded in Domesday as "Foxehola".
A number of distinctive estate workers' cottages can be seen around Foxhall and several nearby villages (see the gallery for an example).
Signs of possible Palaeolithic occupation have been found near Foxhall Stadium. All Saints Church stood north of Mill River; it was in ruins by the mid-16th century. In 1530, Foxhall became an ecclesiastical hamlet to Brightwell.
