Great Finborough is a rural village in Suffolk, England about 3 miles from Stowmarket. Great Finborough's name is thought to have derived either from Magna Fynbarow - being a barrow (burial mound) in the fens - or as Hollingsworth has in his 'History of Stowmarket' ; Finebg or fineborga, with the Saxon meaning of Fenn as a marsh and Burgh or Borg as a small town, ie. the town of the Fen, or Fentown.
Buxhall - The unspoilt rural village is a mix of old properties, many thatched, and contemporary houses inhabited by long standing residents and a variety of welcome newcomers. At the beginning of the twentieth century Buxhall was virtually self sufficient with an agricultural economy.
