About Wordwell
Wordwell is a quaint village and civil parish located in the West Suffolk district of England, approximately five miles north of Bury St Edmunds. Once affected by the Black Death in 1348, its population has dwindled significantly over the centuries, with an estimated 20 residents recorded in 2005. Historically part of the Culford Estate during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the village was included in the St Edmundsbury district from 1974 until 2019, making it a unique setting for potential planning applications in a largely rural landscape. The settlement has a population of approximately 21 (2021 estimate). It sits within the St Edmundsbury district.
