Denham (Mid Suffolk)

Introduction

A scattered village close to Eye.

Denham College is of uncertain date; it was reported in 1651 as one of the two principle dwellings in Denham, but seems to date back a good deal further. It was apparently a college of secular clergy, associated with the local parish church.

Glenn Miller certainly visited Denham during WW2; photographs of him standing outside the pub are known to exist.

A Marlbrough Arms has been found listed for this village, though it's actually in Dedham in Essex.
