Welcome to Hawstead

Hawstead is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles south of Bury St Edmunds and is home to a population of around 300 people. The village is known for its beautiful countryside, historic buildings, and friendly community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Hawstead is the St. Catherine's Church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and features stunning architecture, including a beautiful tower and a unique octagonal font. The church is also home to a number of interesting historical artifacts, including a 15th-century brass eagle lectern and a 17th-century pulpit.

Hawstead is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including the Hawstead Place, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 16th century. The building was once home to the famous poet Robert Bloomfield and is now a private residence. Other notable buildings in the village include the Hawstead Lodge, a 19th-century mansion that is now a nursing home, and the Hawstead Watermill, a restored 18th-century watermill that is open to the public.
