Claydon is a village just north of Ipswich in Suffolk, England. The meaning of the name is "clay-on-the-hill".
The village gives its name to the hundred of Bosmere-and-Claydon, one of the 21 administrative districts into which Suffolk was divided for administrative purposes between Saxon and Victorian times.[2]
