According to Eilert Ekwall the meaning of the village name is Ealda's meadow/enclosure or old meadow/enclosure.[1] The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, situated in the ancient hundred of Cosford, at which time it had a population of 16 households.[2]
In 1555, Aldham Common was the location for the martyrdom of Dr Rowland Taylor, the rector of Hadleigh, during the Marian Persecutions of Protestants. An unhewn stone, probably dating from the early 17th century, marks the place of Taylor's death, located where the B1070 Lady Lane meets the A1071 Ipswich Road. Next to the stone is a pyramidal stone monument erected in 1818 and restored by parishioners in 1882.[3][4] It is a Grade II listed building.[5]
The church of Aldham St Mary is one of 38 existing round-tower churches in Suffolk. It appears in the second series of the BBC Four television series Detectorists.[6]
