Sproughton (pronounced Spror-ton) is a village in Suffolk, England, just to the west of Ipswich[2] and is in the Babergh administrative district. It has a church, a primary school, a pub (the Wild Man), a community shop and various groups. It is in the Belstead Brook electoral division of Suffolk County Council.[3]
The Anglican parish church dates from the 14th century. It was restored in the second half of the 19th century, by Frederick Barnes of Ipswich.[4]
Chantry estate and Sproughton Hall
The historical house Sproughton Chantry, and its estate, was the origin of Chantry Park, now on the western outskirts of Ipswich.[5]
The poet Ann Candler arrived in Sproughton on her marriage in 1762. She encountered difficulties with her absentee militiaman husband and a growing family. From the Tattingstone workhouse, she wrote verse in 1785 commemorating the death of Metcalfe Russell, a benefactor.[6] He was a barrister of Gray's Inn, called to the bar in 1762, and had bought the Chantry in 1772.[5][7] By his will it passed to Michael Collinson, a relation.[8]
Sproughton Hall, not far from the Chantry, was built by Sir Robert Harland, 1st Baronet.[9]
