Along the A143 north east of Bury St Edmunds you will find the village of Stanton, with a population of some 2,700 it is the third largest settlement in the borough. On the southern outskirts of the village is Wyken Hall, a romantic Elizabethan Manor House on a farming estate surrounded by four acres of gardens. The adjoining vineyard produces grapes for some of the finest East Anglian wines. The gardens and vineyard are open to the public and it is also the venue for a thriving Farmers Market each Saturday morning. The village also has a windmill that is one of less than fifty postmills still in existence. Dating from 1751, it was moved in the early 19th century to its current position and it is still in full working order and regularly used to produce flour.
