  The Roper Family in Hoxne, Suffolk, England
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).

 HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio Barbieri
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.

 The Late Roman Gold and Silver Coins from the Hoxne Treasure
Discovered in 1992, the Hoxne Treasure is perhaps the richest cache of gold and silver coins, jewellery and tableware from the entire Roman world.
The core of this volume is the catalogue of the 15,000 late 4th- and early 5th-century gold and silver coins, together with an in-depth discussion of the production and supply of late Roman coinage.
Hoxne's silver coins are particularly interesting, and the book also contains ground-breaking discussions of the silver content of Roman currency as well as of the peculiarly British phenomena of coin clipping and copying.

 British Archaeology, no 56, December 2000: Features
Never, perhaps, was this more true than at Hoxne in Suffolk, where the great antiquity of humanity was first recognised in a brick-pit in the closing years of the 18th century.
Hoxne also showed that technological change in the Palaeolithic did not follow a simple trajectory of progress, as had previously been believed, from simpler to more sophisticated forms of tool.
However a memorial plaque has recently been erected in Finningham Church, near Hoxne, which pays long overdue tribute to his pioneering observations, which made such an important contribution to the fundamental reappraisal of what it means to be human.

 Medieval Painting of the Seven Works of Mercy, Hoxne, Suffolk
Hoxne is close to Moulton St. Mary, Potter Heigham and Wickhampton (all in Norfolk and in the links table below) and this Seven Works of Mercy is very similar in type to the examples of the subject there.
None of them is now readable, as is unfortunately true of all examples of this subject I have seen - with the exception of Potter Heigham in Norfolk where the odd (English) word can be made out.
Hoxne also has a painting of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the juxtaposition of this subject with the contrasting Seven Works of Mercy is now very rare in the English church, although at least one other example is forthcoming.
