The Parish of Flempton cum Hengrave is made up of the two villages of Hengrave and Flempton which are situated on the A1101 Mildenhall Road about five miles to the east of Bury St Edmunds.
Hengrave has a number of very old, mostly Grade two listed thatched houses and is home to Hengrave Hall.
Hengrave Hall, built by Sir Thomas Kitson in the early 16th century, is said to be one of the country's most delightful houses. It was once owned by the Gage family who introduced a fruit to this country which still bears their name (the greengage). Now it is used as a conference centre and Christian spiritual retreat.
