Great Barton, original name Bertuna, is a thriving and desirable village 3 miles north east of Bury St. Edmunds on the A143. With a population of about 2000 spread across the centres of population of Great Barton, Conyers Green and Barton Hamlet. Much of Great Barton is set in the former arboretum and estate of Barton Hall which was destroyed by fire in January 1914. Sir Henry Edward Bunbury was responsible for many of the old buildings that we see in The Street today. Great Barton has strong connections to horse racing, including the Epsom Derby, and also to the former Abbey at Bury St. Edmunds.
