Hoxne

Hoxne (pronounced Hoxen) is an anciently established village in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, about five miles east-southeast of Diss, Norfolk and one-half mile south of the River Waveney.

The area around the village is of archaeological note as the find-spot of the Hoxne hoard of Roman treasure and as the type site for the Hoxnian interglacial.

The village in also home to The Swan Inn. The Swan occupies a 15th Century, Grade II listed lodge, formerly known as Bishops Lodge. This fine pub is set at the bottom end of the village green, opposite the village Post Office and Grocery Store, only a short walk from Saint Edmund's memorial and bridge.

Built in 1480 by the Bishop of Norwich, The Swan has a long history with both the restaurant and bars aptly reflecting Hoxne's ecclesiastical past with their ornate ceiling beams and ancient wide-planked floors. Throughout the pub and gardens there's an air of peace and rural seclusion. The 17th and 18th century outbuildings adding to the idyllic rural atmosphere of the place.

The Swan Inn is one of the best known public houses and restaurants in Suffolk renowned for its good beer, good food and wealth of history.
