52°18′N 0°39′E / 52.3°N 0.65°E / 52.3; 0.65 Flempton is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. It is on the A1101 road 5 miles NW from Bury St Edmunds.
Flempton takes its name from the Flemings who came from Flanders and settled the area in Anglo-Saxon times. The Domesday Book records the population of Flempton in 1086 to be 16 households.[2] According to the 2011 census the parish had a population of 149 in 68 households.[1]
St Catherine's church is a grade II* listed building whose tower was rebuilt in 1839 after it collapsed.[3]
Flempton is grouped with Hengrave to form a parish council made up of eight members, four from each parish.[4]
The East of England Regional Assembly was based in Flempton House until 2010. The former village pub is The Greyhound on The Green which closed in 2016.[5] It is close to the River Lark.
Flempton Forge and nearby Forge Cottage are grade II listed buildings on The Green.[6][7] The forge has recently been converted to a holiday let.[8]
