A new book coming soon: Wingfield College and the Dukes of Suffolk, based on the 1362 Wingfield History Symposium... In 2012 Wingfield College and church celebrated their 650th anniversary. Now a book is being published, to record the academic symposium, and to cover the latest research into Wingfield, the de la Poles, and chantry colleges. It will include digital reconstructions of the college and Wingfield castle. Click HERE for more details about the book, and HERE for information about last year's symposium.

Wingfield College is marked on many OS maps and road atlases.

Either of the above sites can be used to print out location maps, or even directions from your chosen starting point. Written directions from Stradbroke, our nearest big village, which can be reached by following signposts from Framlingham or Eye. From Stradbroke take the B1118 north towards Diss. This road is alongside the tower of Stradbroke church. After leaving the village, travel about a mile, ignoring the first right (signposted towards Fressingfield). Take the next right. It is signposted for Wingfield College, with a brown and white sign. It is also signposted for Wingfield Street. Take the second left down a narrow lane (this too has a Wingfield College signpost). At the end of the lane please park in Wingfield Arts car park (on your left, at the junction). For pre-booked guided tours of the College meet at the church, 150 yards to the right. (If you get to Hoxne you have missed it.) Written directions from Diss: Follow your atlas or map from Diss to Hoxne, on the B1118. Stay on the road through Hoxne, ignoring all turnings (especially the one down into the village). The road is now signposted to Stradbroke. Ignore the turning on the left to Syleham. Before you get to Stradbroke are two turnings on the left to Wingfield, one just before the other. Ignore the first (Wingfield Green). Take the second left. It is signposted for Wingfield College, with a brown and white sign. It is also signposted for Wingfield Street. Take the second left down a narrow lane (this too has a Wingfield College signpost). At the end of the lane please park in Wingfield Arts car park (on your left, at the junction). For pre-booked guided tours of the College meet at the church, 150 yards to the right. (If you get to Stradbroke you have missed it.) The Pub in Wingfield: Before your visit why not have a drink or lunch at our successful and popular village pub: the De La Pole Arms. Just opposite the church, a few yards from the College, so not far to walk. Sit outside with a view of the churchyard, or inside by a log fire. For more details and reservations call the pub on 01379 384 545.
