Kentford

[4] Historically, Kentford has been closely associated with farming and the horse racing industry, both of which have played a significant role in providing employment opportunities within the village.

[5] The house was the setting for Langtry's weekend parties, and it featured impressive rooms designed for large social gatherings, including a theatre-like drawing-room and servant quarters that have remained untouched since the Edwardian era.

Regal Lodge also played a role in Langtry's passion for horse racing, hosting celebrations following her notable victories.

In 2019, engineers worked to install the latest fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband, offering residents and businesses access to download speeds of up to one gigabit per second, 18 times faster than the national average.

[7] This initiative was aimed to improve connectivity in rural communities and serve as a trial for Openreach to extend their FTTP network into more challenging or commercially less viable areas.

[7] The Church of St. Mary, located in the centre of the village, is an ancient stone building constructed in the Decorated style.

A sign showing a picture of the Packhorse Bridge in 1906 alongside information. The text reads as follows: This is the site of Kentford's old Packhorse Bridge, one of only two such bridges built in Suffolk. The photograph was taken on New Year's day in 1906. Since then, sadly, all that remains is the wall of the road leading to the bridge. The final parts of the bridge disappeared in the 1970's. Enjoy the bench and imagine times past!
The Packhorse Bridge Informational sign located just beside the bridge and the village sign.
