abstract:Hoxne is an anciently established village in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, about five miles (8 km) east-southeast of Diss, Norfolk and one-half mile (800 m) south of the River Waveney. The parish is irregularly shaped, covering the villages of Hoxne, Cross Street and Heckfield Green, with a 'tongue' extending southwards to take in part of the former RAF Horham airfield.
Maldon in Essex and Hoxne in Suffolk have staked claims to be the place where St Edmund fell, and in the past it had been said his remains were in France or Westminster Cathedral.
