Send flowers to Shottisham, Suffolk

The village of Shottisham is a civil parish located in Suffolk, England. Shottisham is part of the Wilford Hundred and lies within the Bawdsey peninsula. The town of Woodbridge is just 4 ½ miles away and the coastline is only 3 miles away. Along this coast are Hollesley Bay and a tiny hamlet known as Shingle Street. According to a census that was taken in 2011, there are about 197 people living in Shottisham. This is actually fewer people than there were 150 years ago in 1851; a census for that year showed 372 people living there. The decline is likely due to the decrease in agricultural jobs which were once thriving in the village.

    Shottisham is an Old English word that roughly translates to “Scot village.” The oldest record of Shottisham’s existence can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086. The book described Shottisham as being a part of the Wilford Hundred even back then. There were only 24 households in the village around this time, which was a lot for the time. One of the main buildings in Shottisham is St. Margaret’s parish church. The church was constructed during medieval times but no one knows the exact year it was built. Records do show the church’s single bell on the square tower was restored in the year 1845.

    Shottisham does not have any schools on its land. Any schoolchildren residing in the village have to go to a neighbouring village for their education. The two main businesses in Shottisham are the Sorrel House and the St. Margaret Campsite. The Sorrel House was created in the 15th century and serves as a pub.
