[2] Stratford St Andrew has the origins of its name traced back to a combination of Anglican and Old English.

[3] In the Domesday book of 1086, Stratford St Andrew was situated in the Plomesgate district, under the ownership of Walter Giffard, who was recorded as the Tenant-in-chief.

[8] The church was first noted as being run down in the 1970s, when it was described as: It was also described as having smashed windows, rusty hooks and an old open chest simply abandoned on the floor.

[11] Ranulph do Glanville, the famous justiciary of England during the reign of Henry II, was born in Stratford St Andrew.

[12] The village sign for Stratford St Andrew shows the mill, of which little now remains.

In 1831, working in agricultural labour was the largest sector of employment for those living in Stratford St Andrew.

[21] Stratford St Andrew formerly had a place of worship, but today the church has been converted into a private residence.

It retains its structural presence, made up of a tall plain tower, with simple decorated bell windows.

[22] Today, the nearest operating church to the village is located less than half a mile to the east in Farnham, just over the River Alde.

So in November that year, the newly elected committee began raising funds for a new hall.

Together with support from Suffolk Coastal District, Waste Recycling Environmental Limited, Rural Development Council and Carnegie Trust, construction of the new hall was able to commence on 1 June 1998.

The centre offers Pilates and Tango classes, hosts Ladies' and Men's darts, and is available for bookings.
