Having emigrated to Canada before the War, Stanley joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force and served for nearly a year on the Western Front.  Stanley was the first of the Great War casualties to be buried in East Bergholt Cemetery.

The Allotments, named after  Joseph Chaplin of Chaplin’s, East Bergholt who having benefitted from the enclosure act in 1817, left in his will a large area of land for the village to use as allotments.

A rider urging a barge horse to jump over a barrier on the tow path at ‘Float Bridge’, upstream from Flatford. This full size oil sketch a last 'study' for the composition prior to his great painting that went on exhibition at the Royal Acadamy alongside 'View on the Stour' and the final version of this piece 'The Leaping Horse'

A Gardener in civillian life, Ernest was sent to France in October 1916.  He was killed during the Third Battle of Ypres, leaving a wife and five young children.

Said to be named after four sisters that regularly met at the crossroads.

Cottage in a cornfield with a donkey in the foreground.

Constable had exhibited a similar composition at the Royal Acadamy in 1817, an unfinished piece and of which the finished dimensions were similar.

A private development of scandinavian style, 2 bedroom, dog friendly, holiday lodges.  Modern and open-plan with bi-fold doors that span the front of each lodge with its own terrace to enjoy al fresco dining and to recuperate in the hot tub, each designed for comfort and style.

Uncle of Charles Buck.  A career soldier in the Indian Army, Jack was attached to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1915.  He was killed at Gallipoli, leaving a wife and two young children.

The son of the Rev. J.J. Lias who had been St. Mary’s Rector between 1892 and 1903, Ronald was Cambridge Graduate who joined the Army shortly after the outbreak of war.  He was killed in the Ypres Salient in 1916. 

East Bergholt Cinema welcomes you to its monthly film screenings. Over the past eight years we have shown a range of contemporary and older films. Our Lottery-funded big screen and impressive sound system, along with the comfortable chairs provided by the British Film Institute, make our Friday night showing a true cenematic experience.

During the first half of the 20th century and because of the constraints of transport, most local people also worked locally, in domestic service, in trades, at one of the 2 factories in Brantham, or on one of the 20 plus farms we had here in East Bergholt, all employing labour, and most having just one or two horses, which meant much manual work!

This watercolour had been called ‘View towards Dedham Church’ but the building in question now seems more likely to be Stratford St Mary church, seen from more or less the same angle as in the two versions of ‘Landscape, Ploughing scene in Suffolk (A Summerland), the first of which was exhibited in 1814, and ‘Summerland’ which presents a view westward up the Stour valley from the outskirts of Old Hall, East Bergholt and of which the precise viewpoint has not been determined.

Bertie was wounded during the Battle of the Somme in 1916, and was later one of four Bergholt men  killed during the German Spring Offensives of 1918.   

Self contained luxury accommodation set in the heart of Constable Country. The perfect pit stop for your weekend away, or mid week break.

Interestingly we have found a number of different references to ‘Lost pubs of East Bergholt’, a number of names we recognise, some we don’t, but rumour has it that there were as many as 14 at one point, albeit a number of them probably front room beer houses, but apart from the current pubs The Hare & Hounds, The Royal Oak (The Dickie), The Carriers & The Lion, we have reference also to a number of others:

A cottage surrounded by trees on the right with four cows grazing in a field separated by a low fence in the mid foreground. A large bank of trees on the left (the location is approximate).

Charles served in France with the 11th Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment.  He was killed during the Battle of Arras in April 1917 and has no known grave. 

Bespoke flower arrangements and an extensive portfolio of wedding and all events flowers.

Believed to one of the smallest of Constable's oil sketches, it shows the home of Constable's elderly neighbour and friend Mrs Sarah Roberts.

Village names, road names, house names, they all have meaning and history behind them.

These are a few we have managed to identify but so many more.

Brother of Herbert Moss.  The second youngest of the East Bergholt men to die in the Great War.  Arthur was killed when the ship on which he was being transported, was sunk whilst entering the harbour at Alexandria, Egypt.
