Tostock is a small village around eight miles east of Bury St. Edmunds in the county of Suffolk.

It is a very traditional Suffolk village, with a good example of a fourteenth-century church.

[2] There was a church in Tostock mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086[3] but the present building is believed to date from the 12th century.

[4] It is believed that the tower was completed in the 1460s as the oldest of its four bells dates from that time.

[5] The Gardener's Arms public house stands next to the village green alongside the chestnut tree that was planted in 1935 to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V.[6] Tostock's Victorian school building was opened in 1874 and closed in 1945.
