Local List of Parks/Gardens of Historic and Landscape Interest
Historic parks and gardens are characteristic features of east and west Suffolk – either side of the High Suffolk clay plateau. This reflected the position of the largest landed estates - including in the Suffolk Sandlings - and also their geographical distribution along the historic route between Ipswich and Great Yarmouth. These parks were construed as primarily an aesthetic landscape – an irregular, ‘naturalistic’ setting of grass, trees and woodland around a big house. Parks were expressions of status and wealth, marking out the owner as a member of the landed elite.

National Register of Parks/Gardens of Special Historic Interest
There are fourteen parks and gardens in the East Suffolk District included on the National Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest compiled by Historic England. Under the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 Historic England compiles a register of “gardens and other land” situated in England that appear to be of special historic interest. The main purpose of this Register is to celebrate designed landscapes of note, and encourage appropriate protection. It is hoped that drawing attention to sites in this way will increase awareness of their value and encourage those who own them, or who otherwise have a role in their protection and their future, to treat these special places with due care.

Rural England Prosperity Fund
The Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) aims to improve productivity and strengthen the rural economy and rural communities. The REPF is a top-up to and complementary to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and succeeds EU funding from LEADER and the Growth Programme which were part of the Rural Development Programme for England. To drawdown the funding, an addendum to the UKSPF Investment Plan was submitted to Government on 30 November 2022 by East Suffolk Council. The submitted and approved addendum identified the challenges and opportunities for the East Suffolk's rural businesses and communities through data driven evidence and stakeholder consultation to shape our priorities for REPF funding.
