Now three cottages, this was originally The Gildhall, dedicated to St John the Baptist and Holy Trinity, which used its income to give support to villagers in need. Built in the 16th century, timber framed and plastered with a thatched roof. The Gildhall became the village workhouse in the 17th century and circa 1836 it was extended and converted into cottages. The building was restored circa 1970. For a time the north end of the building was an infants' school. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1186990 The small village of Horringer, earlier known as Horningsheath lies astride the A143 road some two miles south west of Bury St Edmunds.
