Introduction to Sproughton

Sprcomweb3


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! 




News item - July 2008.
Sproughton Parish Council has been awarded £150,000 to provide insulation for our 17th century
timber-framed thatched Tithe Barn, owned by the Parish Council and currently used for community
functions - social, sporting and educational.

Funding is made up of £112,388 from the East of England Development Agency’s Cut Your Carbon competiton, which represents 75% of the project’s cost.  Suffolk County Council will provide the
remaining 25% through its Green Suffolk fund.
