The Parish of Flempton cum Hengrave was founded in 1589.
The Parish of Flempton cum Hengrave incorporates the two
villages of Hengrave and Flempton which are situated on the A1101
Mildenhall Road approximately five miles to the east of historic
Bury St Edmunds.
The usually resident population in Flempton is 156 people and
145 people in Hengrave.
The housing stock is relatively mixed though there are a number
of very old, pretty, mostly grade two listed thatched properties in
both villages.
As well as housing the headquarters of
EERA (East of England
Regional Assembly) in Flempton, the parish is also home to the
parkland and historic tudor mansion house, Hengrave Hall.
