Welcome to the Hinderclay Parish Council website

Hinderclay is a relatively small and sparsely populated rural parish with a diverse population. It is situated in a quiet part of north Suffolk on its border adjoining Norfolk.

It has an active village hall, the fishing lakes and its own fen nature reserve which is crossed by the long distance footpath, the Angles Way, and is now managed as part of the Little Ouse Headwaters Project.

We have an ancient Parish Church of St Mary and near the centre on the village is the old village school - now converted into housing - and Hinderclay Hall with its traditional barns and former walled garden.

In the past there was also a Methodist Chapel, a windmill, a post office, an engineering works, an electronics factiory and a number of pubs.

There is mention of Hinderclay (Hilderclea) in the Domesday Book of 1086.
