Although Copdock and Washbrook are two names, they are treated as one village, with one Parish Council and one Parochial Church Council. Copdock & Washbrook may be one of the longest village names in Suffolk, but the inhabitants are proud of it, and frown upon shortenings such as Copwash or Washdock!

The village lies approximately three miles south of Ipswich just off the A12 London trunk road, and about fourteen miles north of Colchester.

There are two churches within the village, both C of E. St Peter's Copdock which holds services most Sundays and St Mary's Washbrook, which is redundant and under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, but still holds one or two services a year, and can be used for weddings under special licence.

The village is fortunate in having many sport and fellowship clubs, details are listed in this site. There is a good network of footpaths which are well maintained, thanks to the Parish footpaths volunteers. For details of village walks go to the Events Page.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our site which is being supported by the Parish Council. If you need any information about us which is not shown here please contact me at:- c.pearsons@sky.com

Telephone box library

Some of you may have noticed the library in the telephone box had disappeared! This was dismantled as it was being used as a dumping ground. However, one of our Parish Councillors has resurrected the library, putting up new shelves ready for books. Please use the 'swap library' sensibly - putting books in only where there is enough space on the shelves. You may take books out without putting any in, but please only take what you need.

Copdock & Washbrook Parish Council would like to thank the local family who started up the 'swap library' in the first place - it was very well used and appreciated by residents.

The Brook Inn

The new managers, Charlie & Cat would be pleased to welcome you to our community owned public house.
