Welcome to Sproughton, a village of about 550 houses situated
three miles west of Ipswich in the county of Suffolk.
The heart of our village contains a mediaeval Church and Rectory, a
16th Century Tithe Barn, a 17th Century Hall and an 18th Century
Water Mill on the River Gipping. We have two Pubs, a Primary
School and (until
2006) a Post Office. The Parish Council is applying for grants
to  establish a Community Shop in the Tithe
Barn.
There are about 24 recreational and social clubs and groups
in Sproughton.
We have recently completed our Parish Plan, which was the spur for
this first attempt at a village web site. We are developing and
improving this site by degrees!
