The idyllic rural village of Hemingstone, nestled in beautiful undulating countryside of Mid Suffolk, can trace its origin back to Anglo-Saxon times with several mentions in the Domesday Book of 1086. The present Grade 1 Parish Church of St. Gregory, built on ancient earthworks, is mainly 14thcentury but still has evidence of its Anglo Saxon, one of only 13 in Suffolk to do so. The affectionately named ‘Hut’ is the social centre of the village, situated along Bulls Road and is a WW1 hut from Rendlesham Forest gifted to the village in 1920. The village offers fabulous country walks and amenities include village stores and public houses, with leisure centres being found in the nearby neighbouring villages. The nearby towns of Needham Market, Stowmarket and Debenham offer further amenities including schooling, railway stations with links to London Liverpool Street station, independent stores, hotels and restaurants, doctors, dentist, and more. Local primary schools can be found at Claydon, Helmingham, Otley and Henley with nearby senior schools at Claydon, Farlingaye in Woodbridge and the well reputed Debenham High School.
