Shadingfield
Shadingfield is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located around 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Beccles in the north of the county.
The village is spread along a 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) stretch of the A145 road between Beccles and Blythburgh to the south.[2] The Ipswich to Lowestoft railway line runs through the west of the parish, with the nearest stations at Brampton and Beccles railway stations.[1]
The village itself is joined with Willingham St Mary and 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) west of Sotterley. The parish council operates to administer jointly the parishes of Shadingfield, Willingham, Sotterley and Ellough.[3] Other than Willingham and Sotterley, the parish also borders Brampton with Stoven, Redisham and Weston.[1]
At the 2011 United Kingdom census the population of the parish was 178. This had risen slightly from a mid-2005 population estimate of 170,[a][1][4] and significantly from a 1981 population of 103.[2] Some houses in Redisham village are within the Shadingfield parish area.[1]
Culture and community
Shadingfield and Willingham share the limited amenities in the village, with the village hall, playground area and a pub, the Shadingfield Fox, all on the parish boundary.[5][6][7] Children attend a primary school in Brampton and the Sir John Leman High School in Beccles. The local church, alongside the A145, is dedicated to St John the Baptist.[8]
Shadingfield Hall is a Grade II listed Georgian house. It was built between 1806 and 1808 for Thomas Charles Scott, replacing a mid 16th-century manor house. Scott's son, the Reverend T C Scott was Rector of Shadingfield until 1897.[2][9] The house is now on the Sotterley estate. Then Prime Minister Gordon Brown took his family holiday at Shadingfield Hall in the summer of 2008.[10][11][12]
Notes
- ^ 2011 United Kingdom census population data from the Office for National Statistics used a 'best-fit' method and, as a result, does not necessarily map exactly to parish boundaries.[1]
