COPDOCK parish, between "two small rivulets, from 3 to 4 miles S.W. by W. of
Ipswich, has a pleasant village on the London road, containing a good inn
and several handsome houses, adjoining Washbrook, in which parish some of
the houses are situated. Copdock has 349 inhabitants, and 932A. 33P. of rich
clayey land, lying in two manors, viz., Copdock, of which W. J. Deane, Esq.,
is lord, and Copdock-Hall-with-Barons, of which the Rev. J. T. Hales Tooke
is lord; but part of the soil belongs to Rolla Rouse, Esq., Mrs. Syer, Mr. R
Bruce, and a few smaller owners. The Church (St Peter) is a neat fabric,
with a tower and five bells ; and a curiously sculptured font. It was
re-seated, and a handsome reredos erected in 1853, so that the interior has
now a handsome appearance. The rectory, valued in K.B. at �9.12s. 8$d., has
the vicarage of Washbrook annexed to it, and the two united livings were
