Wetherden
Introduction
A village on a tributary of the Gipping, recorded in Domesday as "Watdena" or "Wederdena".. The aisle of the church was built by Sir John Sulyard, Lord Chief Justice to Richard III. A later Sulyard was a leading supporter of Queen Mary, and saw a local protestant resident burnt at the stake.
The Pest House (on the road to Haughley Green) was probably used to isolate plague victims from the village.
History

The 1865 Kelly's Directory also lists Frederick William Rice as a beer retailer (& maltster & hop dealer).
