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.
The Parish Church of St Mary is of Norman origin dating from 1128. Near the centre on the village is the old village school - now converted into housing - and to the south, 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 and two pubs, The Bell and The Crown.
The village was recorded in Domesday as "Hilderclea", from the Anglo-Saxon for "tongue of land in a river where the elder grew".

BUSES
As of 2nd September, Simonds are withdrawing the 304/337/338 bus service and there will be no bus service through Hinderclay.
If there are any students in Hinderclaywho have previously used the scheduled services as fare payers (rather than those entitled to free home to school travel) then they will need to make other arrangements as of September. The County Council will If necessary, make alternative arrangements for entitled students over the summer but are not able to extend this offer out to those with no entitlement and cannot guarantee that any spare seats might be available if new home to school services are provided for entitled students.
