Pakenham, Suffolk
Pakenham is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. Its name can be linked to Anglo-Saxon roots, Pacca being the founder of a settlement on the hill surrounding Pakenham church. The village describes itself as the "Village of Two Mills", as it has a water mill which claims to be the only working example in the county. The Pakenham windmill no longer works. The village sits to the east of Bury St. Edmunds and is administered as part of the borough of St Edmundsbury.

The village was therefore named Pacca's Ham, i.e. the home of ...
