Wolverstone, Suffolk, England

Notes:
Woolverstone is a small village and civil parish in Suffolk, England located on the Shotley peninsula. It is situated about 6.4 km (4.0 mi) south of Ipswich, near the southern shore of the River Orwell.



The name Woolverstone (originally Woluestun) is supposedly derived from Wulfhere, whose “tun” or enclosure was at its beginning. There have been numerous archaeological finds in the area, including flint axes and an arrowhead believed to be Neolithic, beaker shards and flints from the Bronze Age, shards and a brooch from the Romans, and a coin and brooch from the Saxons. Two separate holdings were recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086, including woodlands for 15 pigs and 10 acres belonging to the Church.



There is a very detailed account of the Parish of Woolverstone and surrounding area between 1639 and 1661 in the book entitled The English Home of Mr. Timothy Dalton, B.A..
