Ashbocking is a small village 7 miles north of Ipswich on the Ipswich to Debenham Road. In the 2001 census there were 115 households and the population was 318. There have been some building developments since that time so both the number of households and the population have increased slightly.

Ashbocking is a village of three parts: the main section is on the Ipswich-Debenham Road; there is also a small but important part (historically speaking) around Ashbocking All Saints Church about a mile away and finally there are some houses on Gosbeck Road. The village may be small but it has a long history with evidence of Iron , Roman and early Mediaeval settlements around the Church site.

Certainly the village centre was originally around the Church in the fifteenth century. Although village services such as shops have disappeared over the years there are many businesses in the village and the farming sector is still very important which all makes for a vibrant community.

If you have any old photos of the village which can be added to the website, please e-mail them to the Clerk at the above e-mail address.
