Heritage

Horringer was earlier known as Horningsheath. The school kept this spelling until after the Second World War. There are also references to Great Horningsheath and Little Horningsheath. All three have been redirected here.

The village includes the main entrance to Ickworth House, a Neoclassical country house which was the seat of the Earls and Marquesses of Bristol until the 7th Marquess sold the lease to the National Trust.
