Horringer
Horringer is an attractive village of some 400 houses situated 21Z2 miles Southwest of the market town of Bury St Edmunds on the A143 (25 miles East of Cambridge).
Dominating the village green is the 14th century church of St Leonard (the
patron saint of prisoners).
Beside the church is the entrance to Ickworth Park and Ickworth House once
the home of the Marquis of Bristol but now a National Trust property.
Many of the houses along The Street are 500 years old; some are thatched.
Ickworth Park Primary School is a modern single-storey building. It is
situated on St Leonard's Estate which was built from the 1960's to the
1980's.
There are about 20 active societies in the village who meet mostly in the
Community Centre. All the societies are members of the Community Council
which deals with aspects of village social life.
