Introduction
Chattisham was owned by Henry VIII, who exchanged it in 1532 for the site of a leper hospital on which he built St James's Palace.
Although there are few records of the old beerhouse, it appears on the village sign.
The foundations of a smock windmill dating from 1867 can still be seen near the road towards Hintlesham. It was demolished round about 1950.
The village was recorded in Domesday as "Cedeberia" or "Cetessam".
