Dorothy Hodgkin Court, Beccles Dorothy Hodgkin Court was named after one of the town's most famous residents, who was given the freedom of the town in 1965 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7550085">TM4290 : Plaque honouring Dorothy Hodgkin</a>.
 
Dorothy Mary Crowfoot was born in Cairo and came to England at the age of four. At the age of eleven, she was enrolled and educated at the Sir John Leman School, Beccles. At her insistence she, and one other girl, had chemistry lessons instead of domestic science, and excelled. She went on to advance the technique of X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of biomolecules, which became essential for structural biology. She mapped the structure of vitamin B12, for which in 1964 she became the only British woman to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and went on to elucidate the structure of insulin in 1969 after 35 years of research.
She used the name "Dorothy Crowfoot" until twelve years after marrying Thomas L. Hodgkin, when she began using "Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin". She is referred to as "Dorothy Hodgkin" by the Royal Society when referring to its sponsorship of the Dorothy Hodgkin fellowship, and by Somerville College. The National Archives of the United Kingdom refer to her as "Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin". Hodgkin also served as Chancellor of the University of Bristol from 1970 to 1988. In 1976, she became the first woman to receive the Copley Medal from the Royal Society and in 1987 she accepted the Lenin Peace Prize from the government of Mikhail Gorbachev.

Rigbourne Hill Lane, Beccles Rigbourne Hill Lane was established hundreds of years before Rigbourne Hill was developed just after WWII. Although it now has a tarmac pathway it is not as well used as it might be. From the start at Swines Green the lane is approximately 700 yards in length with an ascent of about 70 feet emerging at the top of Banham Road. From there it continues along Oak Lane, a name which was given to the road when developed, continuing with a change of name to Dirty Lane, after crossing Beccles southern bypass it re-emerges as Cucumber Lane, terminating at a former ford, (now bridged) in Church Road, Weston; a total distance of one and a half miles.
The name Rigbourne comes from the time of the Danelaw, rygg-bone meaning backbone.
