Situated about 2 miles outside Stowmarket in Suffolk, Onehouse is a unique community – there is no other hamlet or village by that name in England.
The name Onehouse means a lonely cottage or house, clearly not a reference to the substantial number of residents who live here now.
Despite not appearing on many maps, Onehouse has a long history – one of the earliest references is in the Domesday book. Until the 1950’s it was a scattering of some dozen houses along Lower Road and about 15 houses on Upper Road with another 5 on Union Road leading to Stowmarket. The Church of St John The Baptist sat in the fields midway between Lower and Upper Road. By the 1970’s housing development had begun but there are still people in the village who remember streams and ditches where houses and roads now stand.
