Wenham Magna, also known as Great Wenham, is a village and a civil parish in the Babergh district of Suffolk in eastern England.
The parish also contains the hamlets of Gipsy Row, Vauxhall and Wenham Hill. In 2005 it had a population of 150,[1] increasing to 185 at the 2011 Census.[2]
Wenham Magna is the birthplace of Matthew Hopkins, the infamous witchfinder general.[3][4][5] His father, James Hopkins, was vicar of St John's Church[5][6] and the family held land in the area.[7][8] James Hopkins appears to have been popular with his parishioners, one of whom left him money to purchase bibles for his children.[4]
Church of St John
The parish church of St John is a Grade II* listed building.[9]
The chancel is 14th-century with a later, timber-framed, south porch. There is a 14th-century nave with north and south porches and a 15th-century west tower of flint with stone dressings. The rest of the church is plastered with only the stone windows exposed. The church has red plain tiled roofs.[9]
