Westerfield has two public houses, The Swan in northern Westerfield[2] and The Westerfield Railway in the south.[3] Both serve meals and contribute much to local social activity.
Central Westerfield has a village green adjacent to the medieval parish Church of St Mary Magdalene,[4][5] where the East Anglian cleric and Hebrew scholar Cyprian Thomas Rust (1808–1895) is among those buried.[6] It has fine stained glass windows, of which St Mary of Magdala was designed by William Morris.[4]
The population of Westerfield with Culpho was estimated at 486 in 2019[7] and measured at 442 in the 2011 Census.[8]
