Hoo

Hoo is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located 3 miles north-west of the town of Wickham Market and 3 miles south-west of Framlingham. The parish lies to the south of the River Deben - neighbouring villages include Kettleburgh, Charsfield and Letheringham. The parish council is combined with Cretingham and Monewden, with Hoo itself having one of the smallest populations in Suffolk with 86 residents recorded at the 2001 census. At the 2011 Census the parish was recorded in combination with Letheringham giving a total population of 160.

The parish church, located to the north of the village centre and adjacent to Hoo Hall, is a Grade II* Listed building. It is dedicated to St Andrew and St Eustachius and dates from the 13th century with a 15th-century tower. The ecclesiastical parish is joined with Charsfield and services are still held regularly in the church which was threatened with redundancy in the 1970s. The church was used as a location in the 1974 film Akenfield.
