Groton, Suffolk
Groton is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England. Located around a mile north of the A1071 between Hadleigh and Sudbury, it is part of Babergh district.
The parish church, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, is flint faced and has some 15th-century features but was heavily restored in the 19th century. The village has no shops but does have a pub, the Fox and Hounds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Suffolk Churches )〕 In addition to Groton village, the parish contains the hamlets of Broad Street, Castling's Heath, Gosling Green, Horner's Green and Parliament Heath. It is home to several Ancient Woodlands; the Groton Wood SSSI, the Mill Wood and Winding Wood nature reserves, and a section of Bull's Cross Wood (part of the Milden Thicks SSSI). A tributary to the River Box and Pitches Mount, the remaining earthworks of a wooden castle, are also found in the parish.
==History==
In 1086, Groton was listed in the Domesday Book as "Grotena".〔http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=7610583&queryType=1&resultcount=1804〕 The lord of the manor was originally the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds, but at the Dissolution, was granted to the Winthrops.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Groton - Gunnerton )〕 Groton, Massachusetts, is named after the village, as it was founded by a member of the Winthrop family; John Winthrop was born at Groton Manor in 1587. He became the leader of the Winthrop Fleet, a founder of the city of Boston and one of the first Governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The parish church has a Victorian stained glass window in his memory.〔http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/images/suffolk0604177461.jpg〕 Groton, Connecticut, was also named after the village to honour of his son John Winthrop the Younger who settled in that area in 1646. On a common called "The Croft" in the village is an old Mulberry tree said to have been planted by Adam Winthrop, the grandfather of John the elder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Open Writing )〕
