Our Village

Ufford is home to a thriving community of approximately 1,000 people.  The older part of the village clusters around our 13^th – 14^th century church, St Mary of the Assumption, with its famous 15^th century carved font cover and richly carved and decorated woodwork.  Many of the houses in this part of the village date from the 16^th-18^th centuries and several are still thatched.  The later upper part of the village grew up around the main toll road linking Ipswich and Yarmouth from the 18^th century, now replaced by the A12 by-pass.  This forms the western edge of our village, which is bordered to the south by the parish of Melton and to the east by Ufford’s water meadows.

Ufford is well known for its welcoming community spirit, and we enthusiastically embrace a number of public and village festivals and events.
