Welcome to Wickhambrook
Wickhambrook is an English civil parish within the district of West Suffolk and the county of Suffolk
In saxon times, the original village – known as Wickham – was probably clustered around the site where All Saints Church now stands. It is in an area of about ten acres of easily-worked silty gravel soil. This is quite different from the heavy land of the present village, which was covered by a vast impenetrable forest, being quite unsuited to tillage by the tools used by the Saxons. Because of the architectural and historical merit of the original village buildings that remain around the church, this part is now a conservation area.
