The first 11 generations of known descendants of the earliest-known Hoxne Roper b c1475.
Since the data show that this Roper family was in Hoxne from the 1500s or earlier, I suspect that those graves are on top of the graves of earlier Roper ancestors.
A Samuel Roper (b c1742 d 1802) is buried under the floor near the altar of the church with his wife’s family (Leman).
Hoxne was not a part of the earliest stratum of the legend of St.Edmund.
In fact, there is no reason not to think that Hoxne became attached to the cult of St.Edmund exactly because of the legend of the Christian king betrayed to the pursuing pagans by the glitter of his gold.
Hoxne is not on the Roman road to London, but it is only a couple of miles away; it is the kind of place where people wanting to follow the road, but unwilling to be seen on it, would hide at night.
