[2] As the county of Suffolk lacks quarries, many of the buildings are made from flint, clay and timber.

[3] Kirton and Falkenham share the Parish Council, the school, the Village Hall, and most of the organisations.

In the 1870s, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kirton as:"a village and a parish in Woodbridge district, Suffolk.

"[4]There were two manors in Kirton during the late 1860s, with Miss Cartwright being the lady of one and the Duke of Hamilton being the lord of the other.

Coprolites were dug out of shallow pits and conveyed by light-weight tramways before shipping to nearby Ipswich where they were processed by Mr Edward Packard into superphosphate fertilizer.

[11] The Parish offers help on transport, council spending and social issues, it also provides information on organisations that operate in the area.

[12] There are several organisations set up in Kirton which help bring the community together as well as promoting a sense unity.

Towards the end of World War II, the population began to grow at a rapid rate again as the risk of death had decreased.

This was the most common work sector during this period as many households relied on farm grown products and produce.

[18] Information published by the 2011 census shows that the largest ethnic group in Kirton is White British.

[24] The church hall is also available to hire for events such as quiz nights, karaoke, children's parties and private functions.

This group was set up in 2000 and has since helped raise funds of up to £30,000 for major renovations of the church grounds.
