History


The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book at which time it was known as Torp or Torpa.[3] It was a large village with around 31 households at this time as well as two mills.[4] The manor formed part of the holdings of the Huard of Vernon, having been held by the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds in 1066.[4]


Church of All Saints


The Church of All Saints was the parish church and is now a chapel of ease.[5] The building has 11th century doorways, a thatched roof and lies to the south of the village alongside the A1088.[5][6] It is a Grade I listed building and contains "nationally important" carved wooden bench ends dating from the 15th century and a brick built Tudor porch as well as two early medieval coffin lids set into the floor near the south door.[5][6][7]
