St Gregory’s Church at Rendlesham is a good place to consider some of the current evidence for the site of the Wuffing royal hall and church at Rendlesham. Dr Sam Newton, «Rendlesham: The Hall of the Wuffing Kings.»
A.D. 870. This year the army rode over Mercia into East-Anglia, and there fixed their winter-quarters at Thetford. And in the winter King Edmund fought with them; but the Danes gained the victory, and slew the king; whereupon they overran all that land, and destroyed all the monasteries to which they came. The names of the leaders who slew the king were Hingwar and Hubba. At the same time came they to Medhamsted, burning and breaking, and slaying abbot and monks, and all that they there found.ASC, Año 870
