History
In 2006 a village council successfully opposed the development of a proposed stadium, Watermark, by combining its advocacy with those of four surrounding communities.[2]
Composition
Herringswell Manor is located in the community. The Abbot of Bury St Edmunds originally owned the land, and by the early 20th century it was the country house of a Blackheath, London family, of businessperson Arthur Ballance and his wife's family, the Peeks. The Ballances/Peeks lived in the mock-Tudor manor house built in 1901. In 1965 the property was bought for £35,000 to be an American-style-curriculum boarding school for children of U.S. & Canadian families who were working internationally.[3] In 1981 the property was sold to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ashram. Herringswell residents formed a council when they deemed the ashram to be gaining too much influence. The Shi-Tennoji School in UK, a Japanese Buddhist boarding school, was in operation there beginning in 1985[2] and ending on 17 July 2000.[4] The former campus includes the Herringswell Manor, built in 1901. The school closed due to declining student figures.[5] The manor house as well as the other buildings on the property have now been converted into flats.[2]
