Woolpit is an attractive Suffolk village with period and modern houses nestling around a mediaeval village centre.

Its greatest claims to fame are: the legend of the Green Children, a mediaeval mystery of strange children appearing from nowhere, whose skin was green and who would only eat green foods; the beautiful church of St Mary, with its stunning hammer beams and angel carvings; and the former brickworks, long since disused, the white bricks of which were used, locals claim, to build the White House in Washington, D.C.
