Great Cornard, Suffolk

Flower Delivery to Great Cornard with Clare Florist

Located just outside Sudbury in Suffolk, England is the village of Great Cornard. It is a village that once started as a farming land that eventually gave way to the development of estates. However, fears of an urban crawl were heard loud and clear and the Country Park was opened in 1986 for the residents. All that said, the Great Cornard of today looks a lot different than the small village it was at the start of the 20th century.

HISTORY

There is evidence that Great Cornard has been occupied during the Paleothic, Bronze and Roman times as evidenced by the presence of settlements relating to those ages. Great Cornard is also listed in the Domesday Book as the manor Cornard.

A small village until the 20th century when the village experienced a continuously increasing population, along with the construction of a council estate in the 1960s. Following the County of London Plan, the village was expanded and took in London overspill.
