The Domesday Survey records a church at Adbolton. (1)
Many coins, including a James II (1693) and an Elizabeth I (1598), were found during removal of church tower foundations in 1834. A pear tree marks the site, now level. Gravestones used as paving in adjoining farmstead. (2)
Adbolton (All Hallows) - vanished church of which the site is known. (3)
Green glazed sherds and pieces of tooled masonry, probably from church demolished c.1741 (Part of finds in E Fitzpatrick's garden, Holme Road). (4)
The probable church site was indicated by the farmer at above grid ref, where stands a very old pear tree. Here, years ago, occasional services were held by the local incumbent. (5)
All Saints, Adbolton … was pulled down in 1746. The church plate and other articles were brought [to St. Edmunds]. (6)
Ashlar block, possibly deriving from a substantial building such as the church. (7)
