Welcome to the official website for the parish of Wickhambrook. We look forward to welcoming you regularly as the information and content changes and you find items of interest. Wickhambrook is made up of 11 greens. It is believed that the 'spread-out' layout of the village and its greens conforms to Anglo-Saxon village patterns. To have kept our village 'shape' for over a thousand years is remarkable.

Enterprise event being run by St Edmundsbury Borough Council

Setting up a business or small enterprise is a brave decision - you don't have to be special; you don't have to have a new invention; and most of all you don't have to do it alone.
You might have been made redundant; you may have had time out to have children; you could be long term unemployed; or you may have been ill.
Whatever your circumstances we are here to help.
