What is "freckenham"

Freckenham is a small rural village located in Suffolk, East Anglia, in the country of England.

Geographically, it is relatively flat and has the River Kennet, a tributary of the River Lark locally known as the Lee Brook, cutting through the centre of the village. The parish's boundary forms, on its west and south sides, the boundary between Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

The village's name is listed as "Frekeham" in 895, and appears in the Domesday Book as "Frakenaham". The name is believed to mean "homestead of a man called Freca", or derive from frecena a Saxon word meaning "the home of strong men or warriors".
