History

Dickleburgh is situated upon what was once Pye Road, the Roman road that ran from Venta Icenorum, near Caistor St Edmund, to Camulodunum, now Colchester.

Dickleburgh's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for 'Dicle's' or 'Dicla's' fortification. [2]

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Dickleburgh is listed as a settlement of 22 households in the hundred of Diss. In 1086, the village was part of the estates of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. [3]

In 1780 Dickleburgh Mill opened, which was turned into one of Britain's first steam-powered mills in 1834. The mill continued to expand throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, generating its own electricity and providing subsidised housing for employees in the village. The mill closed in 1988 with the land being bought by Wimpey Homes for residential redevelopment.
