Bosmere and Claydon Hundred

Bosmere and Claydon was a hundred of Suffolk, consisting of 31,850 acres (128.9 km2).

[1] The hundred is a fertile and picturesque district varying from 8 to about 12 miles (19 km) in length and breadth.

It falls in the Deaneries of Bosmere and Claydon in the Archdeaconry of Suffolk and Diocese of Norwich.

Its clay soil has long been associated with agriculture, and is suited to grain production.

The hundred's name is taken from the parish of Claydon which falls within its bounds, and Bosmere, originally "Bosa's mere", a small lake near Needham Market in the grounds of Bosmere Hall.
