The village of Wickham St Paul lies five miles north of Halstead. The majority of the houses surround a large open green and are a mixture in character and ages. There are many timber framed houses, some thatched.
Local Amenities
The local pub, The Victory Inn, offers all of the characteristics of the local rustic village pub with quality locally sourced food. It also has log fires in the winter and cricket on the green on lazy summer days ensuring it is ever popular. The village also has a post office and the local farm shop. The school closed in December 1983 so most of the local children attend St Giles primary school in neighbouring Great Maplestead. There are secondary schools in Halstead, Sudbury and Sible Hedingham.
