GIPPING (The), a river of Suffolk. It rises in several headstreams, from 6 to 8 miles NNE, N, and W of Stowmarket; flows past that town, and past Needham Market, Claydon, and Bramford, to Ipswich; and there takes the name of Orwell. Its course from Stowmarket to Ipswich is south-south-eastward, and about 11½ miles; and was formed into a canal, with 15 locks, in 1793.
